I need a red rubber band tire!
The neck wiggles for awhile after it comes to a halt.

The layout is cool
It reminds me of the bizarre vehicles Dr. Seuss would draw.

RE. Dr Seuss
I am an elementary school art teacher…so you can see where my design sensibilities come from
I embraced the Seuss comment as one of the coolest complements I have had in years!!!
When I have my chops down I want to make light-hearted bots that go about their business and make one smile when you meet up.

How big is the cap?
It takes a while to charge up, in what looks to be early morning sunshine, but when it fires it travels quite a distance!
How big is the capacitor? I can’t see it in the photos.
Love the cat and robot
Love the cat. They and robots go hand and hand.
That is a great looking
That is a great looking bot. I’m way more impressed than the cat appears to be!

cap
0. 35F Double Layer Capacitor (CP0.35F ) - The Solarbotics kit lists this now but mine was , I think, .33F as I have had it for some time…I’m too lazy to go look. I have nothing to compare mine with so I am interested to hear that was an OK distance! The capacitor is in the red heat shrink on the alligator clip…it just sits in there loosely like a can in a cup holder.
