Hello there friend! SparkFun will be closed on 8/17/2018 @2pm for a company event. We will not be offering our normal Friday tour or Local Pickups during this time. We will resume normal operations on Monday 8/20/2018. Any orders placed after 2pm MT on 8/17/2018 will be processed when we resume normal operations. Have a great day!
We are seven weeks out from SparkFun AVC 2018 and we’re starting to ramp up preparation for the event!
Introducing 60-pound combat bots, bringing back Logistics, plus a few other essential details.
Next Fall's AVC is starting to take shape. We've seen the future, and the future is... GOATS!
Thanks to some big bots, student teams and first-time competitors, we are now the third largest combat robotics tournament in the world!
With all the information needed to construct a combat bot, let's actually build one!
We have THREE TIMES as many combat bot teams registered as last year! This is great, but it means some changes.
We bring back Jamie to give us some design tips when creating a 3D-printed plastic ant bot.
