THE WHEELS ON THE WESTCOAST BUS
The Westcoast Bus has been touring the UK again, training the distributor’s partners and their customers on everything cloud-related, from Office 365 to SPLA. The Westcoast Cloud Bus was spotted between October and December travelling to cities including Edinburgh, Gloucester and loads more. Partners can even track the current location of the bus over at

It came from…
Honda has released a Japan-only personal mobility device which can only be described as a ‘sit- on Segway’. The Uni-Cub Beta
travels at up to a super- speedy 3mph and has a battery life of around an hour and a half. Riders lean to steer,
accelerate and brake, with JAPAN
the device’s ‘Omni Traction Drive System’ meaning the penguin- shaped seat can move quite freely by just leaning in the right direction. The Uni-Cub Beta is
currently available on lease to Japanese businesses – can you see your employees riding one?
CROWDFUNDING CORNER
Not content with 3D printing random figurines, Cartesian Co. has produced a printer that can create something a bit more useful. The EX1 Printer has the
ability to produce circuit boards by layering silver nano particles. It can create quick, flexible electronics on textiles, paper or nearly any other surface. In other crowdfunding news, paper plane
enthusiasts will be pleased

to hear there is currently a campaign to fund the PowerUp 3.0. This Bluetooth-enabled
smart module can connect to an iPhone app to allow users to remotely control paper aeroplanes. Made of a propeller, rudder and chip, the crash- resistant carbon-fibre module means planes can be piloted with a swipe of a thumb, faster and for longer than a standard throw.
