Subject: [alt-beam] Heads



HI.

I have a few questions about heads.

1) do you have to use gear motors. could you just use normal motors.

2) is it possible to use CDS cells instead of photodiodes if you put them
parallel with a regular diode? or, do you even need the diode.

3) is there such a thing as a Z bridge head? i know that dave from
solarbotics made a head of some sort of a bridge, but i can't remember the
name. does any one have the circut for this bridge???

4) is the best power source batteries? how effective are solar powered
heads?

oh yeah, i am building a herbie, and i was wondering what kind of a
body/frame i should use.

best regards,
keagan schopfer
