BiPOM at Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST) 2010
Nov 26, 2010
BiPOM participated as an exhibitor this year at Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST) 2010 which took place at George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Science teachers from all over Texas stopped by BiPOM booth and watched our robotics demonstration that shows our robots following various line paths made of electrical tape on exhibit tables. Teachers also had a chance to program the robot themselves using our Flowcode graphical programming language.

Warranty changed to 1 year
Aug 21, 2010
Effective July 1, 2010 the BiPOM warranty is now an industry leading full one (1) year; which greatly exceeds the previous industry best of only 90 days.
For more than 20 years, BiPOM has traditionally used the same components, materials, manufacturing methods, and 100% testing/quality assurance practices for its propriety microcontroller and peripheral boards, as it uses for its special order, OEM and industrial customers.
Based in the Houston area, BiPOM's NASA/aerospace, Energy industry, and Military/government customers demand and receive the highest quality and reliable electronics, and that same level of excellence has always applied to all BiPOM products.
The decision to both expand the warranty and make it retroactive was the result of an in-depth review of historical warranty experience and a survey of the many industrial customers using BiPOM products in harsh conditions.
Previously, BiPOM had matched the industry's best warranty terms, which typically ranged from 30 days to 90 days. However the "real world" experience of BiPOM electronic products always exceeded this time period. The new, longer, one (1) year warranty period is recognition of BiPOM's Customers actual historical experience.
