Subject: [alt-beam] Re: new bots
Your mention of shutters for the photosensors ( on your home page I think?)
got me thinking. What if you hooked a small pagermotor to a head. When the
head is locked on the motor fires, closing some sort of eye lid. The head
losses its lock and turns away, then the eye-lids open and it scans the room
again.
Dose this sound possible?
I haven't built any bicores yet, is there an open out put where this would
work?
Just thinking
Sincerely,

P.S. A blinking bot...what next have it ask you to turn it off?

a head looking for light when it locks on it runs a motor instead of
flashing a led like in the sunseeker kit.
that would make a photovore using three motors being really stupid so just
forget that i wrote this.
