Ok, the gold CdS cells are quite regular, having only a single type. It
ranges from 3Meg in total dark to 24.3 ohms in direct sunlight, with quick
recovery time. They even come with a 3rd leg for grounding the case!
The steel CdS cells are a bit of a mixed bag, having 6 different types.
They range from over 20Meg dark resistance to 28 ohms in direct sunlight.
The slowest of the bunch (for recovery time) goes from 28 ohms to over 6Meg
dark, taking about 2 minutes to recover.
These steel types we'll try to sell in matched sets, but we're not going to
sort them according to resistance ranges.
Still working on updating the website graphics. We're resorting some of the
images into new categories, and updating some of the descriptions. In the
spirit of the "genome project", we'll be trying to add more creation dates
and construction details as well. These genome updates will be much more
noticable after we can consult with Mark on the dates of creation of his
robots.
Regards,
Dave
