How to Build A BEAM Trimet | RobotShop Community

This article details how to build a solar powered BEAM robot, the Trimet.
Tools and equipment required:

  • Soldering iron (about 18W with a fine bit) and solder
  • Safety glasses (wear them at all times)
  • Long nose pliers
  • Side cutters
  • Wire strippers (optional)

Hii, Wonderful review there is certainly som a number of assessment out there, however, your site nevertheless proper in front of our alternative.

Genuinely, actually, this way carefully thread! …Thanks

Solar energy concept has really reached some extent of its development where it power numerous equipments, from energizing your entire residence right down to small consumer electronics gadgets. It is really remarkable to know that we have other endless resource of electrical power and it’s really clean compare to the common means of generating electricity. We can expect more on this in the future years as well as assume a lot nations around the world to compliment those people who are making use of the solar energy development. I’m among those people who are prepared to use the free energy transformed into workable electricty for home which power the home equipment, water heating and down to battery chargers for notebook computers, ipods, audio players and many other.

Yes there is, I made one with a solar panel directly on the motor.(YOU NEED TO USE A BIG SOLAR PANEL THOUGH!!!)

ummm i was just wondering is there any way of making a trimet
just with capacitors, a motor, and a solar panel no transistors or anything???

Think of it as the symet being the class e.g. bird and a trimet being the animal e.g. sparrow and it’ll all make sense

it’s the same thing, just has two names.

Way cool demo! I have the opportunity to purchase Capacitors with different volts – which one is used in this demonstration? (Choices are: 16V, or 25V – BTW: 25V looks similar in size and color to the capacitors in the demo, if that means anything.) Thx for all replies.

@Denker Dunsuir, Both should be fine as the operating voltage will be below 16V.
