    Wow thats an interesting article, i had no idea it took 40 to 50 people to design an atmel chip, that makes what chip does really amazing, considering an attiny is nothing compared to a prop.

    Congrats Al. I remember Ken saying there where 50+ employees, but that may have included overseas people.

    Time for the next question!

    When Parallax welcomes a new employee, that new employee is warned about the potential of gaining ___ lbs?

    Groceries are kept in the kitchen for employees to make their own lunches every day. There is always food around here. :)

    Zero, there's too much work to do, and I'm sure it's healthy

    ....except on doughnut days. :)

    Congratulations rwgast_logicdesign, it's 10lbs. Since 10 was your first answer I'm giving this one to you.

    Erco you are also a winner this time since 10 was your only guess.

    You have both one an Activity Kit and OFN module. Please PM me with your shipping info.

    We call it the Parallax 10. There's always good food around the office and doughnut day also contributes of course.

    Only one answer per post from now on everyone. Next question at 11am.

    Not a problem :) I'm just setting the ground rules for the future questions. You're a tough crowd to stump. I'm surprised how fast some of these questions are being answered. You all know Parallax so well!

    20,000 of course!!

    according to the Comestock's article:

    Today, at Parallax’s 20,000-square-foot facility, its 44 employees design and make a cache of robots fly, roll and walk. Elev8, an unmanned aerial vehicle, flies and can be used for aerial photography, among other things. Employees also create educational materials for teachers and hobbyists and program microcontroller chips.

    Do not be discouraged! For I am the un-official keeper of the original construction design documents - Comstock is a magazine, I used to build custom homes - I never "rounded" - neither should you :innocent:

    Are we going to get to important questions like:

    Chip's favorite ice cream flavor?
    Ken's favorite color?
    What career did Chip's high school counselor suggest?
    Matt's favorite donut?
    The unofficial candy of Parallax?

    ...and of course as Jessica made us ponder....is the Hokey Pokey REALLY what it's all about???
