the other bot? I'll read over the rules more but any response is welcome! >>
Okay, so here's is another question, i's thinking about using a modified
bicore circuit with IR detectors instead of the standard issue P-diodes. Now,
do IR detectors operate similiarly enough to p-diodes that they will work? If
not, what might be a good idea for a circuit design, i took a look at the
robot-games web page's example circuit, but i'd like to use the unicore if at
all possible (#1 i have the parts, #2 i know how it works!) THANKS!

of the panel, then create a little metal reflector like a sattilite dish,
then put it in the spot of the reciever/transiever (solar panel that is).
That will take off some heat so you could use it in full sunlight. (I RESERVE
THE RIGHT FOR THIS ANSWER TO BE WRONG, MISGUIDING, AND FICTICOUS!)

Tongue twisters? Also finger twisters when typing. An official scientific
name is fine, but there should also be a common name as there is for all
organic entities.
ie: you don't say "waiter, can I have a glass of dihydrogen peroxide", you
say "water."
