Making Stuff!!!

We got our damaged and mangeled solar cells this week!!!  Here they are....

So although these solar cells are broken, they still give us a large enough voltage that if we put them in series we will be able to charge our battery to power our microprocessors and servos. 

Also, since we are using low current things we don't really have to worry about that with our solar cells.

So we tested about 10 or so of them and we got 0.25-0.35V per cell in just dispersed light sitting in the library.  We also received broken solar cells from the solar car team.  They have generously given us about 30 different broken cells.  These solar cells gave us 1-1.2V in dispersed light. 

Later in the week we started soldering some of the cells in series to make a few units.  Here is our schematic of a single unit and then what it will look like as a whole unit.
