 | Hex Pummer BEAM Solar Cell Robot Kit from Solarbotics
HexPummer Kit This little kit is a good introduction into soldering chip and components. When finished, you have a solar-powered, night-activated dazzler. Comes with four high-intensity LEDs that "PUMM" when the lights go out. That is, they turn on STRONG, then slowly fade away! Manufacturer: Solarbotics. Manufacturer's Part Number: KHP.

 | Sun Swinger Solar Powered Pendulum Kinetic Art Kit from Solarbotics
The SunSwinger uses solar powered electromagnet to make a pendulum swing under the arms of an attractive triangular frame. It's designed to work from solar energy but can be powered by practically any household battery or DC power supply (useful when you live in a dark cave!).
The Sun Swinger is very flexible in how you can put it together. Solar cells can be mounted in several places; the pendulum length can be as long as you desire; you can make the magnet stationary and swing the circuit if you wish! It's a fun kit that gives you lots of room to create your own unique kinetic sculpture. Sun Swinger drives cats crazy too -- good thing it's a pretty tough device!
This kit uses the "force-coil" circuit from
Junkbots, Bugbots and Bots on Wheels. Manufacturer: Solarbotics. Manufacturer's Part Number: KPN.

 | Symet Solar Cell and Motor Parts Bundle: 1381 from Solarbotics
These aren't kits, as much as they are an inexpensive bag of components so you can build yourself a Symet along the lines of the PMK Trimet. Basic instructions included on how to free-form a 1381-based Solarengine, and how to assemble the mechanics.
The Symet parts bundle includes:
- 3904 & 3906 transistors
- 2.2k resistor
- 4 1000uF capacitors
- SC2422 Solarcell
- RM-1 Motor
- 3 large paperclips
- 1381J trigger & diode
- Print-outs of free-forming instructions
Note: The 1381 version is a bit harder to build, but more power-efficient..
Please note that to bring this package to you at such a great price, we cannot offer the same 100% satisfaction guarantee as we do our full kits. Manufacturer: Solarbotics. Manufacturer's Part Number: Sym1381.

 | Symet Solar Engine Parts Bundle: FLED from Solarbotics
These aren't kits as much as they are an inexpensive bag of components so you can build yourself a Symet along the lines of the PMK Trimet. Basic instructions included on how to free-form a Flashing-LED Solarengine, and how to assemble the mechanics.
The Symet parts bundle includes:
- 3904 & 3906 transistors
- 2.2k resistor
- 4 1000uF capacitors
- SC2422 Solarcell
- RM-1 Motor
- 3 large paperclips
- A Flashing LED
- Print-outs of free-forming instructions
Note:The FLED version is easier, and takes a bit longer between movements.
Please note that to bring this package to you at such a great price, we cannot offer the same 100% satisfaction guarantee as we do our full kits. Manufacturer: Solarbotics. Manufacturer's Part Number: SymFled.

| | BEAM Robotics Bicore Experimenters Full Bundle from Solarbotics
In addition to the plain BEP, we've assembled a LARGE bundle of parts to assist you with your Bicore experiments. This includes a complete BEP board, resistors, capacitors, LEDs, 74AC/HCT240's, solarcells, and considerably more!. You'll get a chip for every board that needs it, and a wide variety of component values so that you can get practically all your modules working. It's a $70 CDN) over buying the parts individually! - 17 x 74AC240 Octal Inverter ICs
- 4 x Maxim 8212 Voltage Detectors
- 6 x 1381C Voltage Triggers
- 2 x 74HCT240 Octal Inverter ICs (for the SC ServoCores)
- 6 x TR2n2222 NPN Transistors
- 8 x TR3906 PNP Transistors
- 4 x SC2433 Solarcells
- 32 x CP0.1F Monolythic Capacitors
- 4 x CP0.47F Monolythic Capacitors
- 6 x CP6.8F Tantalum Capacitors
- 25 x CP22F Power Filter capacitors
- 4 x CP.33F 2.5V AL Gold Capacitors
- 37 x TLED Tiny LEDs (Red)
- 6 x D1 1N914 Diodes
- 4 x 20k Trimpots
- 1 x BEP-RB Essentials Resistor bundle (6 x 100ohm, 24 x 470ohm, 26 x 1k,12 x 47k, 31 x 100k, 4 x 360k, 4 x 820k)
- 1 x RB4 Resistor Bundle (10 each of 1M, 1.5M, 2.2M, 3.6M )
- 1 x RB5 Resistor Bundle (10 each of 3.9M, 4.3M, 4.7M, 5.1M)
- 3 x SWT1 Power Switches
- 20 x #2x1/4" Sheet Metal Screws (for the Leg Mounting Pads)
- 1 x SPin32 Socket Pin rail, for non-permanent mounting of small capacitors and resistors (ideal for experimenting!)
- 2 x 3 Pin Headers (for the SC ServoCores)
Not included in the bundle, but suggested worthwhile (if you don't already have them) are these parts: - 0.22F Capacitors for longer Bicore time durations
- CP3300F Capacitors for the MSE1 & PM3 Solarengine modules
- CP4700F Capacitors for the MSE1 & PM3 Solarengine modules
- IR1 Infrared Sensors for optics experiments (I.e: for easy Bicore heads!)
- Motors! Like the Wormdrives in MCM2, or Servos (use unmodified with ServoCore), or even just the regular RPM pagers or RM1 Mabuchis.
- FETs, like the TR-ZVN2106 for Solarengine modifications
- TR100k Trimpots for further Solarengine enhancements
- WLeg Heavy-gauge leg wire, for frames & legs
- BHold Battery Holders for dual AA's, although the Bicore much prefers 5~6V operation

 | Coil from Solarbotics
"Major Henry". These coils are 20.7mm (0.813") in diameter and 1.5mm (0.06") thick. They have a measured inductance of 1.03 millihenries -- not microhenries! -- with about 11 ohms resistance. These coils give a substantial kick when powered by a solarengine in a magnetic field, so much so that Solarbotics had to reduce the size of the capacitors in thier
Sun Dancer Solar Powered Butterfly Kinetic Art Kit kits from 4700 F to 3300F so that they don't knock themselves off their stand. Manufacturer: Solarbotics. Manufacturer's Part Number: CMH.
