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.
We are at the Maker Faire!

Solarbotics and HVW Tech will be at the Bay Area Maker Faire this weekend! If you have a chance to come out be sure to stop by and say hi, we'll be in our booth all day Saturday and Sunday. Also Dave will be doing a presentation in the workshop area over the weekend, so be sure to go and see him as well.
What all this excitement in San Mateo means though is that the Solarbotics/HVW Tech office will be closed on Friday May 29th and Monday June 1st and we will be opening on Tuesday June 2nd at noon. So this means any orders placed during that time will not be shipped until Tuesday June 2nd. Our apologies for any inconveniance this may cause, but if you need something fast (and assuming we've brought it to the San Mateo County Fair Grounds) come see at the Maker Faire and we'd be more than glad to hook you up.

He was kind enough to give us an exclusive interview / demonstration of the production-level version of the Robosapien. See the four videos at solarbotics.net! Update: The link got slashdotted, so we're pretty heavy on our bandwidth bills […]
