Hello everyone!
A major thing with newbies is not being able to get all the parts from
one place (Besides solarbotics, which is "overpriced"). Well, fear no
more! Electronics Express has a solar cell/motor kit you can use, plus
flashing leds and pcb fabrication kits and all the other parts. But two
of the motors for a photovore.
Solar roller: $15
Photover: $17
Have fun!

mean, that the current they supply is smaller than the motors draw (30 -
45ma). How does this work? I've got the MPJA motors, and someone said that
they draw about 45ma, what type of solar panel should I use? I'm using a
FLED, so I guess I'd need something with >2.4 or so volts. What about
current? Right?
