April 7, 2004

The Resources section, which is a new and growing portion of our site to display all things BEAM, now contains a brand new project that can be built off of the Solarbotics BEP (Bicore Experimenters PCB).

Introducing... BEP Application #5 -- The Turbot.



This extremely popular bot is a milestone in the amazing combination of intelligence, strength and mechanics. It will climb over, plough through, or just plain ol' destroy-everything-in-sight; all the while being phototropic!



Take a look, leave some feedback for us in the comments section, give it a shot, and be ready for the next batch of new content soon to be released!

Interactive String LED Floor Mandala at ...

We opted to do something fun this time, building a custom just-for-the-fair piece of sorta-interactive LED artwork.
