Instructables is an ever-expanding documentation platform for sharing DIY projects of all kinds, from pancakes to electronics to making anything fly. Since 2005 when it became what it is now, Instructables grew from hundreds to more than a hundred thousand projects. It's a great community of fellow makers from around the world fueled by curiosity and the spirit of sharing. So we decided to publish the step by step instructions to our own kits in an accessible instructable-style format for your convenience.
The Starry Night Pendant Kit Initially created as an accent piece to the Starry Night Dress, it is now a standalone kit that combines electronics with a subtle wearable appeal. |

One of the most popular BEAM Walkers ever built was Mark Tilden's VBug 1.1 - Spyder. We've recently had the opportunity to shoot a series of high-resolution detail pictures of this robot, which we're now making available to you!
As an exercise on our video editting station, we compiled a quick 5 minute teaser of an interview we had with Mark Tilden on all manner of BEAM topics. View it As a 8.2meg Windows Media WMV file (15fps, 160x120) As a 1.8meg Real Media RM file (15fps, 160x120)
