zBot: Solar/Battery Power Supply

The power supply system of zBot¹ consists of two parts, the main accumulator and the auxiliary battery. The main power source was realised with a NiCd or NiMH battery pack. Its size was adapted to fit the battery holder of the Tamya chassis (six 1.2V/1400 mAh C cells). The main power is activated for DC motor driving and for the servos.
