sparkfun

Ok, to begin with it is just a normal SparkFun "new product post" but check out the last few minutes of the video. They mounted a potato cannon on a 6WD Wild Thumper chassis!

Who thought robots and potatoes could be so much fun?

Sparkfun is having a new contest: "Antimov".

The robot that violates two out of three Laws of Robotics in the most spectacular and creative and funny and effective way wins $300.

Ok, got to the point where it's time to start coding and I got power to everything that needed it and started installing the drivers needed for the Picaxe programmer cable. Well to no avail. If anybody has an idea a walkthrough it would be appreciated.

Everyones favourite supplier of robot goodies receives a cease and desist letter from SPARC over trademark infringement. Read the whole thing here.

SPARC really have no idea do they? If you have ever ordered goods from SparkFun before and wouldn`t like to see them forced to change their name by a big company send a quick email to sparcinfo@sparc.org saying what you think of this. Don`t forget, be polite, we are all adults.

Hello, i'd like to buy some stuff from sparkfun.. The question is: do they ship to Italy? I searched the site but they don't tell which countries are supported and which not. Also, what shipping method should i use? There's a cheap $20 or such but i guess it's only for US (right?) or a quite expensive (about $60) fedex shipping.

Also, how does the prices get converted to euro? Are there some extra costs?
