Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Unicore BeamAnt schematic!



Thats a good Idea, with the 'embedded' bicore, but I'm really not sure why
there would be two bicores. When I did my own research for the bitbots I
found that with light seeking bicore, any time you add circuity beyond the
basic two NV bicore you lose a little bit of the effectiveness. A single
bicore really seems to be the most effective, being able to respond the
fastest and the more precisely. Perhaps the 'embedded' nature of the bicore
is to produce a more deliberate looking motion? So one can understand it's
motion? As a single bicore zipps around following even the most minute of
light discrepencys. Hum! I wonder.
