Can a 3,4V (open circuit voltage) solar panel charge a 3,6V NiMH battery pack?

I wanna buy a charger and some batteries so I've been doing a bit of research on the different types. However the information I found is somewhat confusing and outright contradictory. And in any case I'd like to hear about the experiences you guys have had using NiHM and/or NiCad batteries...

Which would be the better choice? Pros and cons?

Hello

I've been running around past few days trying to figure out a suitable power source for my yet to build robot. It will be powered by two 12V gearmotors (about 1amp stall), on a simple diffrential drive. I am looking for a balance between power consumption and efficiency. My rough estimate is that the robot will weigh under 1kg (2.2lbs) after construction.
