Subject: [alt-beam] Re: question
Iundrstand the reprogramibility advantage of processors, and your little thing
about real world apps does apply to design, but once assembly begins, it's
pretty much a fixed production. You just place your parts, wave solder, and then
out the door. Add the programing of each chip to that process for a CPU bot.
There isn't only design. There's the mass manufacturing as well, for a "real
world" bot. There's nothing wrong with BEAM once you have your design complete.
