Jason, major bummer dude...
how bad is it??? If it's only a small pice then I have a fix for you... I
have used the copper material used in stain glass windows.... just cut a
small pice and adhere it with its own glue... solder a bridge using a pice
of clipped component lead from your new pad to the good part on the cell...
watch the temp...

pulled off? One of my bots fell off the table (forgot I had the work light
on, and scoot to death right off the table) and one of the pads pulled off
the solarcell. I'd hate to scrap it, its a 33x36, is there a good way to get
a new pad hooked up?

Thanks...

Jason
