Subject: [alt-beam] GOLD MINE!!!!!!
Yesterday I was at a Tag sale thing. Just going
around looking for potential bots. When I walked into
this room and I was in a BEAMers heaven. Nothing but
broken walkmens, VCRs, CD players, computers, video
cameras, and just so many other things. I quickly
snapped up the 5 walkmen and the protable CD player
and got those for 5 bucks in total. The computer and
video camers were 3 dollars each. I think I got
enought stuff for about 20 or 30 bots. Man o man I'll
be busy this weekend.

using a Master/slave bicore circuit. But when I
hooked the motors the the circuit for some reason the
legs turn more in one direction and less the other
anyone know why and how I can fix it.
PS=I know about attaching springs to the motor shaft
but looks ugly. Beside do you see any springs on Mr.
T's walkers?

12145 Sun, 19 Mar 2000 02:43:29 -0800 [alt-beam] SnakeBot Parts PACK "Dennison Bertram" Every now and then I get inspiration and offer up part packs for the more
ambitious beamers out there. Remeber seeing Mark Tildens Lamprey bot? The
one that slithers? (Check it out at Solarbotics robot gallery under turbots,
or misc) Well, once again, (I made this offer once before) I'm offering a
SNAKEBOT PARTS PACK, there will be only ONE of these made. (I don't really
expect many offers for it.) It will have EIGHT highquality Gearmotors. THE
EXACT SAME GEARMOTORS THAT MARK T USES ON HIS SNAKEBOT. Yep. That's right,
I'm talking the Omron Mac Disk Eject Motors. All tested and working fine.
This will inlcude nearly everything you need to get started. working on your
SnakeBOT. PCB's for the Bicores, and nearly all the electrical components
you would need, photodiodes, chips, transitors, etc... In addition, I
include the big things you'll need. Epoxy, Rechargable Battery Packs, a
wallwart and connecter to charge the batteries. Swtiches, hardware, Etc...
Effectively it's a huge BEAM Party in a box! (Ok, so thats a little corney,
but it's a good description!) Anyway, I love selling these things. The price
is a little high, ~$300 But it would be well worth it! If anyones
interseted, drop me a line! questions comments are welcome and encouraged!
