It will work fine for a Unicore. The BEAMant circuit works well with the HC,
HCT, or AC. No need to stack if you use batteries @ 4-6VDC. No higher than
that for the HC. HCT will take a little more. AC will take much more and give
a higher current at the outputs. If you are going solar, the HC is your best
bet. As to stacking the HC in a solar configuration, I'm not sure. I'm still
looking forward to building a solar version of the Unicore, but have several
other projects ahead of it. Anyone have any info on the solar side of the
BEAMant?
See ya,
Jim

>http://www.mpja.com/product.asp?product=7280+MD
they run fairly well under the 6 VDC. the question is how do i mount them?
the gearbox is kinda ackward and i'm not too sure how i could mout these
puppies. these will be used on my first walker so i'm a little green in this
particular area of BEAM, how do you guys mount 'em? thx

else in the world work. The young people that are going to take BEAM to the next
level will require a wide range of information to get BEAM and BEAM/CPU robots
working in the real world.
