Subject: [alt-beam] attaching solar cells


I finished a couple of bots, and they work fine. The
biggest problem that I am left with now, is how to
attach the solar cells to the bot. Most of the ways I
have tried don't really work. Is the best was to make
the circuit right on the solar cell? What are some
other ideas?
Thanks,





Aaron

why WHY would you even BEGIN to think that??

i have built a couple of walkers and there is NO WAY i would even begin to
think of taking anything less around what Solarbotics is charging.
consider resarch development, advertising, rights, hush money for the
intern, parts, etc. and solarbotics seems pretty reasonable to me
conisidering they are not exactly dealing with a huge number of clientel.
a supply and demand kinda thing.
didn't you ever study Marketing or Economics?

sheesh...
