Subject: A cry for help



Pardon me, but do any of you know where I might find a mailing list that
talks about BEAM robotics?

I thought I had found one, but it turns out this one is really just for
discussing the relative merits of each writers interpretation of the
philosophical/religious/ethical/monetary ramifications of their individual
definitions of BEAM robotics. Oh yeah, it is also a good place to send
over-size under-informative attachments (or over-size under-informative
egos), to find out what a resistor is, or to find out just about anything
if you are too overwhelmed to use a search engine.

When I first started school, years ago, before I became an engineer, I
studied philosophy, psychology, and religion. Discussions like those that
have flooded this list for the last couple of weeks are the reason I
dropped out of school.

Is anybody actually *making* robots anymore?
