I was just watching a show titled "SUB ZERO" on the history channel. Near the end of the show, the subject was on low temperature research / robotics and there were a couple of NASA engineers showing a control board for a new robot and right in the middle of the board was a BS2P40. yeah.gif

    Can you get a screen shot? I remember there was a discussion a little while about some (fiction) TV show that uses the propeller as a bomb circuit...

    I think that might have been my post, but it was actually a BS2:

    No, that wasn't it, but good reference! It would be nice to have a central list w/ screenshots of the Parallax products in modern media.

    I saw a Prop in a show called Criminal Minds, I believe. It was part of a bomb, of course.

    Prototype This on the discovery channel uses Parallax products in about every episode. One of the show's co-stars Joe Grand is the inventor of the Parallax RFID reader isnt he?

    Joe also had his hand in the Parallax GPS module.
