Photopopper Photovore $69.00

The Photopopper Photovore is a light-seeking, obstacle avoiding BEAM Robot. This kit utilizes very small high-efficiency motors in combination with new circuitry to make an amazing solar powered robot. The BEAM Photopopper Photovore is powered entirely by solar energy. It has light-sensing directional optics (eyes), and a pair of obstacle avoidance sensors. It uses the latest in high-activity BEAM electronics, utilizing new voltage detection devices that use very little power. Two infrared detectors on the robot give it a very directed phototropic or light-seeking behavior, making it trace outlines around shadows, and be attracted to the brightest sources of light.

The Photopopper Photovore is the result of over a year's worth of work to develop a very active, light-seeking and obstacle-avoiding robot. Running entirely off of a small, single solar cell. Measuring only 2" X 3" and motivated by a pair of high-efficiency coreless motors, this BEAM robot can cover a meter in under 2 minutes in direct sunlight while avoiding physical obstacles in its path and avoiding shadow patches. The kit contains a high-quality printed circuit board, optics, motors, and a very complete 12 page instruction manual with over 26 illustrations and images. The BEAM Photopopper Photovore kit is designed to be a straightforward kit to assemble and tune, but does require fundamental soldering skills and hand tools.

Scout Walker $195.00

The Scout Walker Walking robot is a simple implementation of Mark Tilden's Microcore technology. The legs are made of heavy-gauge wire to make shaping easy. This robot is designed for use with four AA batteries. It also comes with backup circuitry and tactile sensor, with options for a second tactile sensor.

Scout Walker II $295.00

The Scout Walker II Walking Robot is a very capable four-motor battery powered walking robot with forward/backward/left/right capabilities - all without a microprocessor!

The Scout Walker II Walking Robot Kit uses Mark Tilden's Bicore technology to give it forward/ backward/ turn-on-the-spot behavior that is controlled by a pair of tactile sensors. A breadboard area is included for your own custom circuitry. You can even add you own microprocessor. Powered by four 'AA' batteries, this robot can function for well over two hours on one charge.

Scout Walker II Plus $349.95

Add a Light Tracking Head to you Scout Walker II and give it the ability to sense the light in its environment in addition to the tactile sensing from its feelers.

Solar Speeder $35.00

The Solar Speeder 1.1 is a very quick Solar-roller that can cover 3 meters (10 feet) in under 40 seconds in direct sunlight. These little speed-demons use special high-efficiency motors, and utilize the same updated solar engine technology found in the Photopopper Photovore.
