I've run across a couple of minor references that state Herbie-type mousebots are ' ... strictly speaking, not BEAM robots ... '. I don't understand why; they...
Hello, Strictly speaking, one could say a Beam robot must have either an Nv Net or Photopopper Net. Analog inputs with digital (on or off) outputs. The designs...
I've always thought that BEAM was more of a design philosophy than a specific collection of discreet components. The main tenant being to use things in a...
Hi Joseph, Thanks for checking it. You can change the article yourself. Just click on the edit button/link/tab and add your corrections. You can even upload...
Hi all. I've been working on a tracked robot, based off of the "dozer" circuit. the only problem I'm having is that there is too much drag on the treds when it...
Hi Jab, You could try something like this: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/beam/files/Jo/Spinner.GIF It's untested and you'd have to solarize it, but...
... I went to build one the other day, and found the original schematic needs a few corrections. Here's a corrected one showing gate inputs/outputs. Regards, ...

Hello everybody, I have a microcore running with two transistor h bridge motor drivers and display leds. the led are in series with 1k resistors. I tried...
According to the datasheet, the high voltage input current is typically 30uA, so that shouldn't be the problem. How have you got it hooked up? Can you post a...
I made a new plant robot but it has four leds, flashing in 2 pairs (each pair at a slightly different rate). I mounted this in a real terracotta plant pot that...
Small terra cotta pots (or even the plastic ones) make a great base for some solar plants. Add a few artificial leaves from a craft store for a real nice...
Nicy work, Buggy! Now the thing to do is to build a circuit that uses the LEDs as solar collectors and night-time emitters. Either that or get some of the...

Hi all, I posted a photo of my first solar roller (although I built it in 2006!) in the files section in an album entitled "Frankendaddy's Vault of Robotic...
Cool! pitty you can't get it to work repeatedly on it's own though, I hope you find a way to fix that problem. I notice the cap your using, I have them but...
