So, Jim, how about getting a small photo of your Scarlet's plaque and
sticking it prominently on Scarlet's web page?

Good morning, please be gentle with me as I am very new to BEAM and
electronics......as I understand so far, the solar cell is the collector and
the capacitor is the storage......within reason then, why not make both of
the parts as large as possible?.....are we dealing with the laws of
diminishing returns and/or entropy.......or would the bot be too heavy to
move?....or........this is all great stuff, thanks.....JWS.
