Book Reviews of JunkBots, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels: Building Simple Robots With BEAM Technology
Book Review: High BEAM's
Summary: 5 Stars
I am just investigating BEAM for some physical computing course work and was pleased by the straighforward nature of the examples and explanations of what it takes to make your own "bugbots".
Tilden is the father of this movement and Dave Hrynkiw injects a friendly warm tone to the writing that makes this easy to peruse.
I built the first bot yesterday and had a really great time with the process. I agree with previous posters that some of this is on the internet, but this book is moderately priced and worth having around.
