Across the street from Modular Robotics in Boulder is an industrial air and gas supply store. They’ve got a sign out front with reconfigurable letters and for about three years, it said, “BaLLoon tiME kits Are iN StoCk”. I was never quite sure exactly what that meant, but everyone loves balloons! Diane Walsh, a math and robotics teacher in Connecticut, posted this video of students using GoPiGos for some balloon jousting, and I am a fan.
We got an SBIR grant!
Great news today. We’re happy to announce that roBlocks (Cubelets development name) received a $100,000 “Phase I” Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Science Foundation.
