Just tripped over this link on the Yahoogroups BEAM mailing list. Nice looking walker - built using our BEP boards too!
Solarbotics at Bay Area Maker Faire ...S...

May 10, 2012
Guess what! Like every year, from May 19-20 Solarbotics is going to be at the Bay Area Maker Faire! Well, kinda. While we usually run a full booth to show off all our cool BEAM and Arduino stuff (we even ran a totally rockin' ARDX workshop last time), it unfortunately looks like costs have risen a bit too much for us to be involved as we wish we could be. But that's okay! DO NOT FRET, FELLOW HUMAN! As with every year, you can still find us hanging out in the Maker Shed - the official store for the show. We'll have lots of our stuff for you to look at and play with, and would love nothing more than for you to drop by and say hello. So if you're in the San Fransisco/San Mateo area next weekend, be sure to check out the Faire and meet some Solarbotians.
...we're not sure if 'Solarbotian' is a proper word, but it is now. If it's in a newspost, it's gotta be official.

BEAM as part of thesis work
Rory Nugent (of Solar Xylophone fame) has posted his thesis presentation to the Interactive Telecommunications Program, which heavily features BEAM devices.

Sumovore Brainboard - the PICAXE!
It's been a bit long in the coming, but it's finally here: The Sumovore PICAXE Brainboard for the Solarbotics Sumovore! One of the biggest tripping points we see from going from the pure digital/analog realm of BEAM to microcontrollers is learning the ins-and-outs of microcontrollers. The PICAXE nicely fills this void by offering a programming […]
