Remember those bad-boy wheels you saw on Strongbad? Well, they're now available! But be warned - we don't have the sleeve to fix the 2mm shaft to 1/8" hole diameter gap, so you'll have to improvise something yourself. Otherwise, your robot will have a bit of a lope to its roll!
Sumovore Captures 1st at NAIT

From the BEAM mailing list, we're happy to report that Tom Gray managed to win 1st at the NAIT robotics challenge in Edmonton!:
"Thanks again to all who endured my wails and made helpful suggestions earlier this year when I couldn't get my BS2 brained Sumovore to run. "
"Grant M. of Solarbotics finally traced the problem to a loose resistor lead. I got my bot going in time to enter the NAIT robotic challenge this morning, where it won first place."
"Thanks also to Craig Limber for strategy and programming tips; they paid off!"
