Sorry Max, but there is something wrong with this schem. The switches and
unmarked resistors seem to be bypassed with a jumper to ground and won't do
anything and as shown the photodiodes won't affect the SE trigger points
either. You probably want to connect those FLEDs the base of the NPNs.
Holler if you need more hints.

Sorry but it seems your wrong the circuit works just
fine. It does everything that it was designed to do.
It finds light and avoids obsticles.

Later !!!

8694 Thu, 30 Dec 1999 13:46:35 -0700 [alt-beam] Biped Beam Bots beam@sgiblab.sgi.com Nathaniel Martin I sent this message, but never saw it come back, so I'll try to send it again:


Has anyone ever built a biped (two leg) beam bot? I've seen many 4 and 6
leg bots, but not any 2 leg beam robots.

If no one has built one, maybe I'll try one in the future (after I build a
4 leg walker)

Are there any reasons it would be impossible?

Hey Max! You can get a pretty good circuit CAD here:

www.labcenter.co.uk

We need to see a readable diagram before everybody gets flaming. Check bac=
k over your circuit pin by pin and make sure your drawing is accurate. I'v=
e made some mistakes in drawing my circuits and the list was spot on with t=
heir assessment of the situation. (I argued, too, until I checked my work!=
)

William Beaty wrote a nice little piece on the rules for Unconventional Res=
earch back in 1997. The first rule that he cites is this:
If I've made a discovery which violates the laws of conventional science,=
then I've almost definately made a mistake!
Nobody is saying that you don't know what you're doing. You seem to be add=
ing 2 and 2 and getting 3. This is a learning opportunity for everyone and=
we need to keep it as that. Show us a clean, concise drawing of your curc=
uit, as it has been built, and then let's go from there. =


We're all friends here!
