Just a quick suggestion to give our Bots a more futuristic look, I will try this out for my Rad Bot, I have seen examples of this "El wire" before and it looks very nice! A very bright Tron Glow added to your projects.
@Roborad,
im a huge Tron fan, if they make a 3rd i'll be wrapped.
This wire is very cool, its been around for awhile it seems but this is the first ive seen or heard of it, looks great.
if i had this wire back in my BMX days...i would have prayed school started at night time...
Would love the inside of my car to look like this:P

Yes it sure does look impressive! I did have a custom P.C. online business for a while mostly building high end gaming computers and sometimes the customer requested El wire around the case and in the side window etc...That was a few years ago and my part supplier from China went out of business so I will need to find another store online to get it again! It would look great on the robot!
Would look fantastic on a robot.
Hmm you have me thinking now...
For sure . I am all for any new ideas to make robotics less Geeky and more Ultra-cool! cool
I've read that it doesn't last very long and starts to fade after a few hours. Anyone know more about this? confused
@DaveSchulpius,
i did a bit of reading about them, if trying to run too much power through a long length of EL Wire..or EL Tape, it will hurt the inverter causing it to fade.
If their set up correctly they will last for hours i'd say.
Last for hours? I wouldn't want to use something that has that short of a lifespan.
Watch:
Beat Light

@DaveSchulpius,
I meant hours from one battery sorry.
A lipo should run them for around 8hrs.
I noticed they sell EL Tape here compared to EL Wire, their flat instead of round.
