Uses 3 Magmotor s28-400s and 2 Trojan T1275 Plus 12V batteries (in series). Drive motors at 20:1 gear reduction.

Go Team Go.

The vedio showed good team work and ingenuity. I can think of many people who will need this for their own back yard. How does it work on your yard Cal? You guys will be leaders in Research and Development. Congratulations, Cal's Mom

To Juan, Drew, Cal, Ross, and Bryce, from the Systems Integration Team at OptiSolar, you have done a wonderful job with this interdisciplinary project. You worked together as a team, set your target milestones and budget, and made it happen under difficult circumstances. You have also shown tremendous ingenuity and perseverance, and could have taken shortcuts along the way but did not. We are all proud of you. David Taggart, (previously Sr. Director of Systems Integration, OptiSolar)

Sweeeeet. Nice work, Ross. Looks like it would take down a sapling. Squirrels beware!
