Scorpio



What started from failure came my favorite photopopper to date! I salvaged the brains from the unnamed prototype bot, and using two of the highest efficiency solar cells by IXYS ($6.20 each!!!), came up with Scorpio. This bot is very light, yet takes large rapid steps due to his power generation and well positioned pager motors. He is definitely a predator in the Robot Jurassic Park.




Eventually I will be mounting touch sensors on this Photopopper, the first of my poppers to have them.
