Walk onto the shop floor at Prince Industries in Shanghai, China and it looks like most other manufacturing plants in this country. It’s busy running two shifts, cranking out components that will be shipped to major manufacturers like Caterpillar, Siemens, and Honeywell.
But change is in the air.
The cost of manufacturing in China is going up and rising quickly.
“It’s something that we anticipated when we went to China, we just didn’t know how quick it would happen,” said Mark Miller, CEO of Prince Industries.
Make a robot friend with Adafruit’s CRICKIT – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express, FEATHER and other platforms to make and program robots with CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. Start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. You also get signal pins, capacitive touch sensors, a NeoPixel driver and amplified speaker output. It complements & extends your boards so you can still use all the goodies on the microcontroller, now you have a robotics playground as well.
