13084 Thu, 6 Apr 2000 19:41:19 EDT light bridge beam@sgiblab.sgi.com BUDSCOTT@aol.com Okay, so here's the deal, I'm thinking of going back to attempting
phototrophism with my first walker, what i want to do is make a light bridge
to go across the main timing resistor to create a phototrophic bot. What i'm
thinking from there is to make this style bridge...
------>|------/\/\/\------|<-------
The two photodiodes would have the cathodes facing inward with a resistor
inbetween to prevent the bright light of the sun from making the occilation
too short! Will this work? thanks!

Don't be too sorry, i'm really impressed with your service! My packages from
you generally only take a week or two, and i'm in the U.S. so that ain't to
bad! plus i've decided to go with a longer wait than a screwed up order! It's
like goin to McDonalds and waiting for 5 seconds to get the wrong order when
you could go to Culiver's and wait 10 minutes and get your order right! well
over my 2 cents (u.s. money!).
