We just received an inventory of PDXBot.04 DVDs that we're selling in part to raise funds for the Portland Area Robotics Society (PARTS). It's a pretty hefty video - over 2 hours long, with many features, including a few cameos of "The Dave and Grant Show" (we were there competing last year). It's a good […]
Moving ActiveTech
Solar botics
April 23, 2018
As some of you know, ActiveTech is changing locations and merging operations with Solarbotics. The retail store is going to take the space where the former RnD lab was, and we've been working hard to prepare that area for the move-in.
Here are some pictures of transforming the lab into retail space. First, all of the internal walls needed to be torn down:

Then we repainted the walls with a nice grey.
Start bringing in product shelves. It is going to be Asian-store-style, top-to-bottom-crammed-with-product tight!
More pegboard shelving:
The mezzanine behind the lab has also been rearranged from random storage space - to product storage space.
Stay tuned for more updates on the move - we should be fully relocated by May 1st, and check out the moving sale that is currently going on at ActiveTech.

Today is a day of bug hunting, (which makes the Weyland-Yutani shirt I'm wearing even more appropriate) and thanks to the efforts of those of you who have taken the time to email me I've been […]
LED Earrings
The idea of adorning oneself with glowing bits has been around forever, but instead of smearing ourselves with phosphorescent jellyfish or placing fireflies in ears like some uncivilized cavemen we went for simple LED earrings. We made a build that involves a simple slow-scroll RGB LED and a few reflective bits to bounce that pretty […]
