Subject: [alt-beam] SYMET!(problems)
I built my first symet today, but it had a little problem, every time
the motor fired, it would tilt up onto some wierd angle made by the
cap leads not being bent flat enough, so the motor would only just
brush the ground. I just put a dome of white glue over each cap end,
so the ends are now rounded instead of flat. it hasn't dried yet, so i
don't know how it will work out. Also, the solar cells i ordered from
solarbotics
haven't come yet so i just glued a battery holder on top and just ran
3v thru the motor only (not the whole solaroller circuit) any tips???
