BEAM Robots! 56K Warning!

Post by vb_master »

I am finally done with my second BEAM robot! It's a Photopopper from Andy Pang (I built Kit #4). It took me ~2 hours. He sent me one 2.2K resister instead of a 3.3K one, but since he is in Hong Kong. It makes one side slower than the other, but that makes it cooler.

I've also made a FLED Symet from Solarbotics.com

Has anyone else made any BEAM robots?

I'll take pictures if anyone wants to see them.

Don't get those SolarBugs, they are overpriced. Build you robots free-form, like I do. Anyone want pics?

Beam Robot Photovore

Post by toplot »

Here's my attempt at kind of a freeform doublewide photovore (same as
a Photopopper). It looks like a cross between a bug and a parked Harley. :)
He's a little too heavy for the motors so he kind of limps along towards the
light but eventually makes it.

How much do BEAM bugs usually go for, since you've had experience? :wink:
I'd love to see your original design, I can put some of your news on MobileGadget.

I'd like to see instructions for your design as well.
