How to make the engine usually found in the BEAM solar roller - "...the most common use is in a solaroller which is a small wheeled car that charges up and then moves in a quick burst of speed. Since you can only use motors and coils with this circuit robots built with this circuit are mainly mechanical such as my artistic butterflies. One other common use is a little thing called a symet which can roam around and not get stuck using only one motor." Link.

I havent looked at a beam circuit in a while, but that "specialized" 1381 voltage trigger is a new thing, the old versions I'm familar with didnt have them... IMHO it totally ruins the "made outta scavanged parts" aspect... What kinda dead walkman has one of those in them?
