That's right - this year we're sponsoring the fantastic Open7400 Competition
organised by Dangerous Prototypes (the people who bring you the Bus Pirate
and other fun stuff). The competition encourages imagination and
ingenuity from electronics enthusiasts - who submit working designs that are
based on the 7400 or 4000-series ICs. So no microcontrollers, you have to
do it the old-school way

Raspberry Pi - now available
New - Makeblock Configurable 2WD Robot Kit
"Makeblock" is a new kind of prototyping system made primarily from extruded
aluminium, with smart designed threaded slots that allow you to joint screws
in any position along the slot without using nuts. This platform contains
basic structure parts, transition parts, motors, brackets etc. enough for
you to build nearly everything, robots, 3D printers, camera sliders, smart
toys and so on.
toys and so on.
We've got the first kit - a 2WD robot chassis which is a great start, incl=
uding motors and even a bracket for an Arduino.
