$10 from uC Hobby

Posted by Erin, the RobotGrrl on Saturday, March 29th, 2008

As I found featured on MAKE emails in my inbox, I also found something else. A $10 donation from David Fowler from uC Hobby! Believe it or not, I could not believe it was true! I even double checked that it was the real PayPal. ;D

This $10 will go an extremely long way! I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to buy just yet, but it will most likely be a used book from amazon :) That way, I can learn more about robotics!

I’m just completely astonished! The first real donation to my Robotic Fund. ^_^ I’m extremely flattered, honestly!

Thank you so much, David & uC Hobby!

Featured on MAKE!

Wow, what a brilliant surprise! After playing around with BubbleBoy, I go to check my email. I noticed that there were two new comments on my blog, which is rather peculiar! I checked it out, then shrieked out loud “I’M ON MAKEZINE!”. Wooooooooooo! I was sooooo (and still am) thrilled! A few seconds later, after playing the video to ensure it was my BristleBot, I sent a thank-you email right away to JBC, the person that made the article. :D

JBC has a blog, you can check it out here: coin-op. One of the really neat projects is one called PoliceState. Check it out! I like the look of the cars, really stylish. :D

I’m just so absolutely honoured, flattered, and blabber-ghasted! Thank you so much!! So, check it out on MAKE!

Oh yeah, one more thing – BristleBot says thanks too.
