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!:

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

cool new stuff for the fall. Stay tuned...(enjoy your summer in the meanwhile -
we are!).
