6215 Tue, 28 Sep 1999 15:01:42 +0800 [alt-beam] vibration as "locomotion"? "BEAM" "Zulu" hi all!
i've just got this idea... instead of using motors to move a photovore
around... how about using vibrators to "vibrate" the bot around?. i.e.
attaching vibrators instead of motors to a photopopper circuit. from what i
see, this would give the bot a mroe insect like movement.. however, motion
may not be as controlled as compared with using motors and.. hmm... the
vibrations would lossen things up on the frame? i'm not sure... any
comments on this?
