Subject: [alt-beam] Re: vibration as "locomotion"?
no no.. i do not mean using only one vibrating motor( no more vibrators..
haha i finally got the joke).. but rather, totally replace the pager motors
with these vibrating ones. the bot would vibrate to the right or to the
left instead. wait... then, how would the bot move forward? any ideas on
this?

6552 Sat, 09 Oct 1999 05:29:22 -0700 [alt-beam] My beamant behaviour(weird) alt-beam@eGroups.com evenflow88@hotmail.com Hie all....i just finished bread boarding the unicore circuit and it
will be my first beamant(well actually i have another one but that is
so lousy) okay...the new bredboarded one has something strange...when i
powered it the two pager motors went forward and backward but when i
press the Nu switch on either side the motor opposite the motor go back
stop for a sec , go back again and stop and back again...but i think
the phototropism for it is working quite well...anyone can tell me
something about the first motion..which is forward and
backward.....thanks all
