For those interested. Note that if you'd prefer to have the experts do your mobile installation, our own BVARC webmaster Eddie Runner runs River Oaks Car Stereo. He has a shop full of qualified installers who are also hams who can do a complete and professional job installing your rig in your vehicle. (And no, he didn't ask me to say that...)

It is an opportunity to come learn about bread boarding, transistor matching, talk guitars, and even show off your gear if you like. This series of clinics will take place Fri July 23, Wed July 28, & Fri July 30 from 12PM-5PM and will be presented by High School Physics Instructor and Guitar Enthusiast, Matt Wilson. Specifically, he will be using Jimmy Hendrix's favorite fuzz box circuit as an example. He will go over and explain the workings of the circuit then lead you to modify it for various other effects. Matt Wilson will have a classroom set of parts available to use at no cost. If you would like a set of parts to take home and work with, those can be purchased in the store at low cost. What a great way to learn and talk with other guitarists. our hope is to have a few people at a time cycle in and out for 1.5-2hrs through out the day between 12PM-5PM to build and modify guitar effects pedals. This clinic is available for everyone, from the elementary school student to the post-graduate hobbyist. There is no charge to attend. Your RSVPs are appreciated as it helps us schedule attendees to prevent over crowding. Please come as many times as you like, make sure there is room for new comers. We hope to see you here! If you are interested in sharing your knowledge and presenting a workshop in our store, please come talk to me. We are planning some events for the fall and winter and are looking for presenters.

ROBOT BUILD SESSION: SATURDAY July 31, 2021 We are hosting a combat robot build presented by Innovation Spark ( a non-profit organization that brought us the Houston Maker Faire) at 10:00AM, Saturday July 31, 2021. The build is limited to five individuals or families who want to create combat robots for our upcoming tournaments. The reason for such a small amount of groups is so that we can exercise social distancing as it will be a very hands-on, intensive build. The cost is $200 for materials (which have gone up in cost) which will be paid directly to Innovation Spark to cover material costs. The Combat Bots we are looking to start with will be similar to the ones shown in the picture above. These particular robots are non-destructive, human operated, and will compete to push or flip an opponent into a pit. The materials used in this assembly include: robot chassis, wheels, motors, radio system, servo & lipo batteries. The goal of this event is to create five more teams that can compete in a tournament here in the EPO parking lot August 14th, and eventually create a Houston area league. Please email me back if you are interested in participating or have questions. I will forward you the payment link for Innovation Spark. You are officially in the build once you have paid for the parts. The payment is non-refundable if you don't show up. Responses and payments must be in by Thursday, July 29, 2021.

Presented by Innovation Spark (who brought us the Houston Maker Faire) and Hosted by Electronic Parts Outlet - Houston, to see robots fighting in our parking lot! Multiple teams will be competing with robots that battle to the death, some traveling from across country. Participants will be arriving from 10-11 to set up; the competitions will begin at Noon and likely continue through 5 or 6PM. The robots fighting on the 14th will range from non-destructive human operated robots weighing 1/3 of a pound to 3lb robots equipped with deadly cutting blades and more. Spectators are welcome and encouraged to join us. For those who wish to compete, there is a link to Innovation Sparks robot registration on our website under Events/Combat Robots or a link at the bottom of this page. We expect the majority of the repairs and all of the competition to take place outside in the Electronic Parts Outlet parking lot. We are planning on-site food options as well. We are open for normal business hours and we truly appreciate your support of our small brick and mortar retail business.
