Yes, the cell and the pager motor are directly wired. I took
this assembly out of a previously assembled "frightened
grasshopper" solar kit. Less than $6 for all.

In the video you can see this on bounces and moves around a bit,
but has none of the speed and directionality of the bristlebot.
 
Saw another post (chibots list iirc) where someone had trimmed
the leads of the bristlebot down about 1/4 of their original
length to make it more stable. I can't imagine that is easy to
do and get even.

Randy,

Excellent!  Did you wire the solar cell directly to the motor?
Where did you get the solar cell are you used?
