*REMINDER: GUITAR EFFECTS PEDAL CLINIC*
As a reminder: In an effort to teach electronics we are hosting series of
events as informal clinics to to build and learn to modify guitar effects
pedals.��� 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.
*COMBAT ROBOT TOURNAMENT
& ROBOT BUILD CLASS
Houston Heatwave Summer 2021!
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*.
*Announcing a Tournament August 14, 2021*
--------------------
Please join us Saturday August 14th, 2021 for *"Houston Heatwave* *Summer
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.
