Hello, I new to this group, and I would like to thanks for the documentations I have found in your files. Now my problem : I would like to know if it is...
I am breadboarding the mousey robot with the help of absolute beginners guide to building robots. The primary behaviour of the robot, i.e. light seeking is...
May your soldering iron's tip always be shinny, solar engiens always work, motors always spin the right direction. May the wolrd of BEAM robotics always keep...
Hey all, Just wanted to thank Dave Hrynkiw et al. for such excellent service through Solarbotics! I ordered a copy of "Bug Bots, Junk Bots, and Bots on Wheels"...
HI, all. I have (i hope) a simple question for ya. when useing a large capaictor, say, .5f or 4700uf, for storage and a 100uf for trigger.. dose the storage...
Hi. I'm preparing to make NSD Walker and I have a little question, how to "hack" the servo? I find only this: http://www.beam-wiki.org/wiki/Hacking_a_Servo but...
Hey all, I just wanted to inform you guys of the BEAM Bot competition we are having on the BEAMBotForums.com forums. This is the first contest we have ever...
Hello! I posted about this a few weeks back, and I'm still stumped on ... I've a junkbox full of little motors, pager motors, big vibratin' motors, servos,...

Is it possible to build a solar racer without the 1381 voltage trigger? I mean with another component, such as a transistor, substituting in for it? I actually...
Greetings All, My BEAM activities have slowed the past couple of years due to other commitments, but the inspiration for my initial involvement came from only...
hi all!! i would like to create a bot that turns its head to the direction where a sound is created;similar to the one that was explained in the message...
I finished another pummer based on Wilf's Improved Pummer schematic. I actually recycled an earlier pummer and used the newer schematic. Check it out: ...
Hi folks, I read some of the archived posts, and this is a really helpful beambot group. I am trying to find and purchase a few of the obsolete Panasonic...
Hello all! I got a couple little solar cells- Open circuit voltage- .55vdc in the sun, Vmax 0.484V, Imax: 0.25-.0275 amps. Anyone have a good idea for these...
This is probably a very basic thing I have missed but I need to ask. If I have a solar panel putting out 9v and I want it to trigger a transistor at a certain...
