Prefect for robots! I've ordered a Gigablox, which is a 5-port gigabit switch of the size about 4.5x4.5 cm. Incredibly small! And it works well, even full gigabit. It generates only neglectable amount of heat, and the wide input voltage means one less DC-DC converter or stabilizer on your robot. Yay! The makers from Botblox look like quite skilled engineers, and they're very open to ideas. I suggested them an improvement to Nanoblox, and a few weeks later, a newsletter announces it's on the roadmap. This doesn't happen with every company - try making suggestions to Netgear :) I'm really looking forward for the other planned products because they've really hit the niche robotics needed to cover.

Gigablox Nano I was in charge of designing in the Gigablox Nano board into our robotics system. Worked the first time, the experience was great overall and the board seems to be well engineered. The BotBlox team was very supportive throughout the process. Botblox helped solve our problem of miniaturizing the network infrastructure.

item shipped and arrived promptly, packaging needs a bit of attention, but they're working on it! item shipped and arrived promptly. The outer box was open and crushed on one corner but contents were sealed and intact. Items were in good condition. ...Upgrading the review based on feedback from BotBlox staff. They were attentive, responsive and concerned about the packing problems.

Cutting edge tech with impeccable service It's hard to be too positive about BotBlox. They seem genuinely passionate about developing cutting edge tech, supporting customers with a wealth of different applications, and providing top-notch customer service. Keep up the good work!

Knowledgeable and Helpful I have been working on a robotics project using the GigaBlox network switch as the main means of communication between devices. I recently resolved an issue thanks to BotBlox support. They helped by suggesting useful tests to perform, and giving accurate assessment of the results. The issue ended up not being related to the switch itself and now the networking is working wonderfully. I would highly suggest giving these switches a try, great combination of good hardware and amazing support.
