Headbots giving me headaches....

I've abandoned the two headbots I was building for now because I can't get them to work.One was more or less an experiment to see if I could use just a regular motor to make one.But that didn't work.The other one is not functioning either,only with 9 volts there is some life.Nine volts,however,is too much for the 74ac240 chip.
So I've salvaged one of the bicore circuits and remade it into a pummer circuit(although that need some troubleshooting too).
The solarcells I got last week seem to have a problem with them(or the problem is me....).All in all not a particularly good weekend when it came to building.
