Regarding the solar powered walker and the mars rover, both are cool looking robots! I find that solar panel particularly interesting. Perhaps put a solar panel on each side, with each panel connected to one side of the robot... So when there is (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.dacta)
