We just had word from our Italian distributor at Robot-Italy.com - it seems that he was victorious! Take a look at his website - they know how to make cool trophies in Italy...
2002 LANL Workshop in the works...
Dave Hrynkiw
February 25, 2002
Word from up the pipe at the Los Alamos National Laboratories is that the 10th Annual BEAM workshop is slated to happen May 2-4, 2002 at the Betty Ehart Center in Los Alamos, New Mexico (same place as the 1999 workshop).
Thanks to Joe Vigil (of LANL) who spearheaded the initiative after Paul Argo (the previous organizer) left for other opportunities. This is doubly-impressive, as Mark Tilden (who no longer is at LANL) is still willing to drop by and give a lecture.
So those are the tentative details. Solarbotics will be arranging the registrations for the event, so we we'll be posting a link to a registration database soon. Don't bother asking for more information - this is all we know at the moment. We'll post updates as we get them, and will have the link up for registrations in another day or so.

Sumobot Circuits
We've been having fun playing with the L293D driver chip. It's one of those things to see how much you can make it do by itself (like with any BEAM application!). Grant McKee has been experimenting with some simple additions to the chip to make it (unto itself) a suitable brain for a simple mini-sumo […]
