<DIV>All,</DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>Here is a YouTube link for video I took of bristlebots at last two
RBNOs built by Ed Paradis and Jeff Koenig.</DIV>

<DIV>Glenn, Oops, missed videoing your bot.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>OK, it took me longer to get this post together than the time everyone has
spend building their bristlebots - geeze.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wow- I see lots of related videos...</DIV>

<DIV>Jeff,</DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Very nice on 7002.</DIV>
<DIV>I like the leaded TO-92 case for this application. </DIV>
<DIV>I can see soldering the leads directly to the tiny. Making like a 3D
electronic sculpture.</DIV>
<DIV>Rickle Bickle recommended this part and gave me some SOT-23 versions some
time back.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nice being a FET no resistor needed on Gate.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pretty close on supply voltage on gate max threshold voltage -- maybe OK
there eh?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe one of those new 14 Pin Tinys would be better suited so that could
run a programming header without</DIV>
<DIV>having to share pins?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nice too that CDS cells can do direct connect to analog input pins using
chip internal pullups for doing photovore (sp?) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now if you can get differential motor drive to steer the beastie.</DIV>
