Hi everyone, my name is Adam and I’m an engineer at Dexter Industries.  I hacked a dSolar adapter for the 9v power coupling on our NXTBee Pro and Wifi units.  I thought it would be fun to power some of our radio communication devices with the sun.  It’s very simple to make, and John thought it was a cool...

Recently Dexter Industries teamed up with the University of Arizona to bring solar powered robots to engineering teaching.  Students are getting hands-on learning experience in solar engineering using the dSolar to power their LEGO MINDSTORMS robots. A teaching concept that lets students power up Lego robots by retrofitting them with mini solar panels is making its way out of...

This year, Dexter Industries is bringing sustainability to Moonbots by providing 30 finalists with dSolar 4W systems. Teams will power their lunar robots with solar power, just like a real mission to the moon!

What's Moonbots 2012 all about? Here's a quick video . . .

Explore solar energy and electric vehicles by designing and testing a solar powered car using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT and Dexter Industries dSolar 4W.

The dSolar gets some love from Wired Magazine . . .

Our latest dSolar Mindstorms NXT robot circles Washington Circle. The robot feels its way around the circle using a dFlex sensor.

The dSolar goes to Washington powered only by solar panels.

The dSolar ventures out into the sun.

A few new pictures of the cleaned-up dSolar.
