Re: BEAM robots - can ne one help me?

I hope this helps it is not really much but it does give you what BEAM stands for and a list of better places to look. Frankly the BEAM is for creating robots that act like living organisms and can be functional as such

Hi, donk,

Best thing you can do is build one, following the Mark Tilden tutorials...
They're in .pdf format, and quite basic.. Just ignore the tech-talk if it's above your head for the moment.
Try a Trimet, I think it's the most elegant... (Look ma, no wheels!)
Problem might be to find good solar cells...

(Edit AGAIN!) hmm looks like it's not complete... but I've got to catch a train... I'll look for it later, or maybe someone else?
