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!
New Instructables!

Our clear breadboard was recently blogged on Makezine, which reminded me we juuuust about had an instructable ready for that same item. So, a few hours later, it is finished and posted.
And while I was at it, I finished editing another Instructable by Jerome Demers, our intern. He did up a DIY Miniball instructable that's based on our retired Miniball kit.
Back to it - lots to catch up on that isn't near as much fun as writing new Instructables!
