A Brief History of...Photovores!
The
is one of latest in a string of solar-powered robots designed to seek out and maintain
access to sources of light. The Grand-daddy of them all is the original
3.0 (fig 1), which used a modified greeting
card timer as it's "brains". This was followed by designs using dual Type-1 Solarengines, like the
(fig 2). New geome-
try using flagella (arms) instead of wheels was successfully experimented with in designs like
(fig 3) and the
twins (fig 4). New advances in low-power electronics resulted in the expermental
(fig 5) and
(fig 6). This kit uses the best techniques learned from all these prototypes!
