Buy one from Radio Shack and you can also have it disconnect your phone
while you are online, you you don't cut your connection when you forget
you're online! :)

For those interested, I just posted a new page on the recent Robot Rally.
There is a link on the BEAMART page, Atlanta Robot Rally 2000, that will go
to the page.

See ya,

I agree. ...besides ever hear of a backup?

Tilden.

Second, escaps are extremely expensive motors. You'll have to find out where
you can buy them yourself. You'll also have to find what surplus place sells
them yourself. As they are not a 'regular' item. They are very rare. As to
how they work, it's not such a mystery. They are just motors. In terms of
where they are used, just image any old motor, and then imagine it says,
"escap" on the side. The best site to see *Tilden's* work would be
http://www.beam-online.com

Hey, no hard feelings, but this really isn't of any use on the BEAM list.
First of all, the likelyhood that the story happened as it was written is so
small it's ridiculous. They probably just fudged something themselves. You
don't just get 'hacked' because your plugged into the phone socket. Anyway,
it's always interesting to see what people pass on.

I got this today... and thought with the resent hackings this was pertinent
to send on...
I hope you will quickly read it before deleting...

11225 Wed, 01 Mar 2000 16:45:50 -0600 [alt-beam] Re: Silicon Cell report beam@sgiblab.sgi.com Richard Piotter Can you solder to the shattered pieces. I have 4 panels in cases. All
from the Rat Shack, and ALL DIFFERENT!!!

Sone have horizontal lines, some vertical, and one has a grid of them,
about 160 to be exact, but I think it's for better collection of
current. (more surface area touching conductor). 2 of those have the
solder terminal linibng the lenth of the short side, and the other 2
lining the full lenth of the long side.

Radio Shack's consistency over the years in these panels seems non
existent! still, as long as you split it with the solderable contact
down the middle, you might be able to do this I personaly would just use
a diamond cutting bit to do the job. They shouldn't be too dificult to
find. I'm not so certain I want to cut those anyway though. It'd be very
dificult to cut the ones that have the positive terminal on the short
side. I'm almost afraid to mess with it! you must also consider cutting
following the conductive strips

Yes, and the material that the cell is made of. Each material has its own I
= LW line.

I = current
L = length
W= width

11227 Wed, 01 Mar 2000 23:25:01 GMT [alt-beam] magbot wings for everyone beam@sgiblab.sgi.com "Mike Kulesza"
format="flowed"

Here's an attachment of my monarch butterfly magbot wings.

I cut off the wings, and angled them forward on the bot; it looks better.
Compare the picture here, and the one of my magbot at:

www.geocities.com/beambotix

You'll see that mine has the wings rotated forward (looking from top: right
wing counter-clockwise, left clockwise) about their roots in the magbot
body.
