Yoicks! Lotsa new stuff!

Well, the pile of stuff we've just got in finally fell on me, forcing me to deal with it. Got some neat new stuff!:

  • GMTT Traction tires for our GMPW and SW wheels. Ideal for mini-sumo robots!
  • GMWW02 Wheel Watcher Encoder kits for the GM2/3/8/9 series gear motors, and GMWWS
    spacers (needed for GM2 & GM3)
  • PRet
    Plastic Retainers, which are quite useful for making micro wheel hubs
    on RM1a style gear motors (Herbies - wheeee!)

  • TBlk2
    Two-position Terminal Blocks, when coupled with our Tact1
    springs make great tactile sensors like the ones on our ScoutWalker
    3

That's it for now, but we're still working through the summer towards some
cool new stuff for the fall. Stay tuned...(enjoy your summer in the meanwhile -
we are!).

BEP Application: Bare Bones PhotoVore

Cool project

Neil Sandstrom from the BEAM mailing list recently posted a notice about his "ShokHead" circuit built from our tutorial. What makes this project a bit different is that he mounted it on a VPM motor, so it's all self-contained. Here's what he says about it: Just finished!!! Check it out it is really small!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam/files/Psyclesam/ […]

Solar-powered hopping robots? It's been ...

Actually, it's been done, but not this nicely. Those guys at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have a nice report on their "microglider" project. They do some fine work! Bah. That picture is too small! Let's look at a BIG one! Ooo! And they have more big pictures here! This one is nice - […]

Wednesday Links: Phenakistoscope, 3D Pri...

Wednesday links are back, with more wednesdayness and linkness. Or linkedness. In any case, after the holidays we got better. More rested, more well-fed, more exercised, more healthy, more balanced, more busy, more relaxed, more organized, more happy... Er, I think these were New Year resolutions... All I mean is that we are finally back […]
