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).

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!
