Solar bug photopopper

[computergeek1996]

would a 6 v @ 50 mah solar cell work ok? Also can you tell me all parts i need to build this. :)

[computergeek1996]

hey again, would a 6 volt 50 mah solar cell work good? Also could you tell me all the parts i need to build this? Thanks

[computergeek1996]

are you using pager motors, and would it matter if i used them or just those small dc motors.

[computergeek1996]

can you tell me the voltage and ma on the solar cell

[ImzRob]

3.5v @ 15ma

[computergeek1996]

i am making the same one. Can you tell me how much voltage and power the solar panel needs? I have to get one

[computergeek1996]

what are the 2 diodes in the front

[poc95lol]

LOLL :D

Nice. I built two of these about 10 years ago, the Freeform F.L.E.D. Photovore, I think they were called... I just called them Fred. The second of the pair just quit working recently and is waiting for repairs. Thanks for sharing the video!

Can somebody post a link to where the bot in kit form can be bought pls?

Thanks H.

sounds like hitlers army is marching in the backround

[drfakefilms]

those things scare the crap out of me!

[hannahk426]

It wouldn't scare you if you knew how it worked.

[BEAMBotForums]

Nice bot man. Thats a quick one. Come check out my webpage about BEAM Bots, its a great place to chat about BEAM Bots!

[sargeantneo]

cool, i guess the eyes are photo diods/resistors so that it moves towards the light.

[Goldrag]

scary

Hey nice video. i just built that bot, or something close from a kit. but i have a question... how long does it take to charge in the sun. also, will it charge under a light bulb or does it need sunlight.

[JRproducts]

Each time is jumps it charged the capacitor. I have the same kit and mine works indoors sometimes. It just takes 15-30 seconds for it to charge indoors, They work a lot better outside as with any solar panel.

DAMN!!! broke my transistors... new one s comin

[lambo195919]

Got mine and HARD O.o to build. I'm only on the ground wire and having lots of trouble.

[lambo195919]

ATTENTION YOUTUBERS: Guys, I need advice on how to build it...NOW!!! It's on it's way but this is my first beam bot!!! Any tips for this photopopper's construction will be apreciated. THNX

[zebra61]

Holy Shitzky! That thing really moves out! Is it the stock kit or did you make some of your own changes? (Or was that video shot at the equator at high noon?)

Nice video....

[lambo195919]

I'm only 11 and ima try to make one soon. I am ordering it very soon. Any tips? stackemtotheheavens1, You screwed up once, what did you learn from your mistake?

[mauserdemauser]

its like guhh guhh guhh guhh guhh guhhh guhh thingy

[RoBiN8R]

My solar bot is much better than stackemtotheheavens1's is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[grex101]

LOL!!!

[stackemtotheheavens1]

i ordered this same kit, it should come in some time this week. do u have any tips for building it?

[stackemtotheheavens1]

i built in now and it dosen't work!!! ahhh im so frazzled right now... first my walker broke and now this isn't working.

[ImzRob]

Ack, sorry to hear your trouble, I know bending all the pins on this kit was quite complicated, make sure none are touching each other. GL

[moaozis314]

wrong!

[stackemtotheheavens1]

yeah u r right i fixed it now, and i is moar happi.

[shimniok]

Wow, seems like this one is very fast. Cool!

[4erosmith]

cuteeeeeeeeeeeee :D

[weisbeck2424]

the 1st time u see it, it looks big, until u adjust it with your hand

[weisbeck2424]

awsome!

[uw123]

nice!

[yankessrule12345]

lol funny like solgers and looks like its lost get navagation

[Idler81643]

nice.. but i thought it'll look more more like a bug with 2 smaller solar panel shaped like /\ instead of 1 big --

[ubek123]

lol, sounds like walking soliders :D

[TheLangfords]

Very nice, good action. Was it a kit, or your own design?

[ImzRob]

This was a kit, this one is obviously freeformed, but there is also a kit avalible with a PCB.
