BEAM Wiki Blog.

Today I warmly welcome Droidmakr as the first bureaucrat of the BEAM wiki. I really cannot count the pages he has added in the last weeks. Despite the fact he has a very interesting BEAM site of his own he decided to make this wiki one of the best BEAM resources available!
Big thanks to him and I hope many will follow.

There is a very interesting instructables articles about how to create mini bots:

This could be a helpfull resource for any BEAMer

Today I installed a captcha and antispam plugin. Let see if this keeps spammers at bay.

But in the end you do not have the need to register anymore to edit pages. I hope this makes things easier for you!

Ooops, yes you have to do some little math before you can save your edits - but I hope thats OK.

After a very unhappy downtime I am currently working to put a bit life back into this site. I hope to find more time to blog about BEAM (but guest bloggers are more than welcome - just leave a comment). But there are pprobably better Beam Blogs out there. So feel free to add your site to the BEAM Sites section of the wiki.

An while you are at it check out the Community Portal, there is always something in bad shape or missing in the Wiki. I am happy about any contribution to the wiki. I always needs description of bots and tutorials.

After long weeks of technical problems (I f* up the wiki upgrade) everything is restored again. Unfortunately you have still to register with your e-mail address in order ot edit content (an quite improper attempt to keep spammers down - I still get something like 10 spam pages a day - but at least they must manually create it).

Welcome back and create your wiki!

Unfortunately an update went wrong! I have backups - so no real problem. But I have to wait to be on broadband connection again to fix it. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Wouldn’t this be a great idea:

A Pummer that learn sequences of light and replays it at night? I have alway thought of some kind like this. Very nice. I can imagine still an issue with power consumption - but hopefully doable.

Nicolas Franceschini and som eother Frensh guys came up with an miniature helicopter with some insect like brain. The brain should be about 200 milligrams. Big question here: Is it built using BEAM technologies or at least BEAM principles?

Lets check the descriptions (to be continued).

The company PowerFilm Solar is manufacturing flexible solar cells, which can be purchased at FlexSolarCells (you will most likely find other dealers in your area). Marvelous 10000 possibilities for new Beam Bots!

I am really looking forward how much it will inspire you!

A very basic del.icio.us integration has been done for this blog.

The newest links tagged with beam_robotics are listed on the left. By using del.icio.us and tagging your links that way you can share your beam links with all beamers.

If you don’t know del.icio.us: It is a great way to share your links, synchronize it between different computers and to access it from the web. Simply have a look yourself!
