BEAM- beam is an acronym for: This site is dedicated to showing you the Creations that I have created. I find beam to be a great way to spend free time (which is coming more and more rare). I would highly recommend that any who are interest in robotics pick this up as a hobby. All it takes is a little research and patients—Then you got it. Beam robots are incredibly adaptive to there environment. The surprising thing is that they don’t use any microprocessors. That’s the beauty of BEAM Robotics, there cheap, building them is relatively easy, and they are amazing to watch. Once you get a colony of them, they are like watching a fish tank—the interactions are endless! Word of advice to beginners, skill in soldering and knowledge of some circuitry is highly recommended. Plus don’t get upset when your first robots doesn't work (mine didn’t). Cautions-Soldering Irons are hot as I found out the hard way! (Look at your soldering iron before you grab it, that way you don’t grab the wrong end—OUCH!)

NEWS A new Turbot is born! It would have been a robot I would have entered in my contest if I could. Check Mini out
The Results are in and the winner has been chosen. Check it out! Friday, December 30, 2005
Concerning the contest the final judging is not done (my apologies). I have yet to get all the results in. It has taken much longer then I thought it would. And now I’m going on vacation in the mountains for Christmas. There is no internet so I won’t be able to post the results if I get them. I get back on the 27th of December. When I get back I will be able to post the results and ship all the prizes. Sorry for the delay, won’t happen for the next contest. Well MERRY CHRISTMAS. Hope you all enjoy this great time of year!

Yet again I moved the contest deadline to the 10th of December for the last of the entries (but this is the last time that I will do it-unless you pay me large sums of money) so you get three extra days to finish up then the judging will begin. Wednesday, December 07, 2005
