Subject: [alt-beam] Resilience of solar cells?
I just received my first set of goodies from Solarbotics today, and I
figured before I
start mucking about I'd find out what sort of punishment these panasonic
cells can take.
Share some of your horror stories with me. Do they tend to
crack/shatter/etc when dropped
from table height? How scratched up do they have to be before you notice any
change in performance?
I have numerous cats in my house (Not quite as many as those cat-ladies you
read about
with houses full of 300 cats, but slowly gettin there. Well, just 4, but
they seem like more) and I
I'm curious as to whether I should include some manner of structural
protection around the
cells on my bots.
