We like to have some play time at Solarbotics, and the "Bare Bones Photovore" is the results of one of these play sessions. It's a very simple (amongst the simplest, we'll hazard to say) light-seeking solar-powered robot, and find it easy to build using the Bicore Experimenter's PCB.
Holiday Specials!

November 15, 2006
Yes, we're approaching the time of the year when it's the darkest and all you want to do is sip tea and huddle around the ... soldering iron!
The first of our specials is the "KHSB1 - Learn Robotics Book Special". It includes a copy of our popular "Junkbots, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels", plus your choice of a:
for $41.95USD / $50.95CAD
The next special we have is our HKSB2 - Goldbot package, consisting of our new improved versions of the K SS SolarSpeeder and K PP Photopopper! These are now made with a gold and black design using improved Millerengine technology, which makes them both about twice as fast as before!
Lastly, we're pleased to be finally offering the K HM - Herbie the Mousebot kit. It's been through several stages of development and refinement, but it's now ready for pre-ordering (that means they'll be ready to ship November 24th). They're available in 4 colors, so we're offering volume pricing discounts so you can have a full set of these dynamic, quick, easy-to-build robot kits.
