Although not a true BEAM robot, this simple schematic by Randy Sargent is small, simple, slick, and effective. My own version uses a pair of pager motors and three cells from a 9V rechargeable battery. Hard to get any simpler than this device!
Friday New Product: BusBoard Protoboards

July 26, 2013
Wee, more protoboards! Now this is the last batch, we don't got no more. Next time it will be something else, I promise.
|
PadBoard-1 Pad-per-Hole, 80x50mm Solder Protoboard $3.75 A tight and tidy one-pad-per-hole, plated-through, double-sided board. Ideal for wildly-wired, small projects! |
 |
PadBoard-2, Pad-Per-Hole, 80x100mm Solder Protoboard $6.82 For the ultimate in protoboard flexibility, here's a one-pad-per-hole, plated-through, double-sided board from BPS. |
 |
ProtoBoard2H-1, 2-hole Strips, 1 sided, 50x80mm $3.11 Long strips of copper too much for you? Complex zig-zags drive you nuts? Here's a nice compromise - solder prototyping with pairs of connected pads. |
 |
ProtoBoard2H-3U, 2-hole Strips, 100x160mm Solder Protoboard $10.78 Long strips of copper too much for you? Complex zig-zags drive you nuts? Here's a nice compromise - solder prototyping with pairs of connected pads. |
 |
ProtoBoard-3U, 6-hole Strips, 1 sided, 100x160mm $10.78 This traditional soldering protoboard is very similar to a solderless breadboard, but also accommodates a 96-pin VME backplane connector for slotting connectivity. |
 |
StripBoard-1, 80x50mm Solder Protoboard $3.11 Medium size stripboard protoboard, featuring full-width solder points. |
 |
StripBoard-3U, 160x100mm Solder Protoboard $10.78 Stripboard make for fast prototyping for simple circuits. |
 |
SMTpads-Size1, 80x50mm, 50x50mil Pad SMT Protoboard $3.75 This 50mil-pad breakout is best for larger SMD components on 50mil or 100mil pitch spacing, with a ground plane. |
 |
SMTpads-Size2, 100x80mm, 50x50mil Pad SMT Protoboard $6.82 This 50mil-pad breakout is best for larger SMD components on 50mil or 100mil pitch spacing, with ground plane. |
 |
SMTpads-Size2, 100x80mm, 50x50mil Pads,SMT Solder Protoboard $6.82 This 50mil-pad breakout is best for SMD components on 50mil or 100mil pitch spacing, with a duplicate set of pads on the other side (no ground plane). |
 |
SMTpads-Size1, 80x50mm, 50x50mil Pad SMT Protoboard $3.75 This 50mil-pad breakout is best for larger SMD components on 50mil or 100mil pitch spacing, with a duplicate pad arrangement on the backside. |
 |
SMTpads-Size2, 100x80mm, 100x100mil Pad SMT Solder Protoboard $6.82 This 100mil-pad breakout is best for larger SMD components on 50mil or 100mil pitch spacing, with a ground plane on the other side. |
 |
SMTpads-Size3U, 100x100mil Pads, 1 Side Pads, 1 Side Ground, Unplated Holes $12.99 SMT parts are pretty common. This massive 3U size solder protoboard features 100x100mil pads on a large 160x100mm surface. Has ground plane on other side. |
 |
SMTpads-Size1, 80x50mm, 200x100mil Pads, SMT Solder protoboard $3.75 For REALLY large SMD devices, the 200x100mil pads on this smaller protoboard will make construction much easier. Has ground plane on other side. |
 |
SMTpads-Size2, 100x80mm, 200x100mil Pads, Solder Protoboard $6.82 For REALLY large SMD devices, the 200x100mil pads on this protoboard will make construction much easier. Has ground plane on other side. |
It might be flying solar powered noodles, haunted samosas or gilded lardsicles... I highly doubt we'd have these exact items, but something not less exciting!

New Wheels
Remember those bad-boy wheels you saw on Strongbad? Well, they're now available! But be warned - we don't have the sleeve to fix the 2mm shaft to 1/8" hole diameter gap, so you'll have to improvise something yourself. Otherwise, your robot will have a bit of a lope to its roll!
