Mech Warfare at Robogames 2010!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

We came, we blew stuff up, we conquered! Mech Warfare at Robogames 2010 in San Mateo was an absolute blast! We had Fon Davis of Fonco Creative & MORAV show up with his crew and custom build us a fully destructible 1/24 scale urban arena! Needless to say, the arena looked AMAZING this year! We had a total of 14 teams registered and close to 30 people participating this year; the competition is growing leaps and bounds over its first year. We’re still recovering from a long weekend at Robogames but we’ll have plenty of more coverage of the event in short time. For now, here are the winners, some pictures, and a great post & video by BotJunkie that highlights the event very nicely. We had some really awesome and nail-biting matches that were down to the wire, and everyone involved had a TON of fun- we hope to see even more people getting involved for next year!

Firgelli L12 Linear Actuators Are In The House!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

The long awaited Firgelli L12 Linear Actuators have arrived! We’ve gotten a ridiculous amount of requests for these actuators but have been largely unable to keep them in stock.

Well, the wait is over! We stocked up on the most popular gear ratio and stroke length varieties and are ready to ship them out today! Control via PWM signal just like a hobby servo, or use industrial control options such as current or direct analog voltage!
