Subject: solar cells


Hi ALL!!!

First off, I would really like to thank all of you out there who welcomed
me to this :))))

I have a WICKED idea for a beam that I want to build.. I really want to use
solar cells on this but heres the problem, it has a very round body, and as
such I was wondering is there any flexible solar cells out there? I know
there are the hard ones, but I would really like to use flexible ones that
I can glue onto the body..

If that is not possible then I am looking at those tiny single cells... has
any one used those with a good charge? the beam bot I am building is a fair
size, at least 9 - 10 inches tall.. it is going to be a photovore but I am
hoping to also get it so that the beam will know when he is at the edge of
a table...
