Subject: [alt-beam] plants
Hello all,
The recent postings about plants got me thinking. What exactly is the criteria
that constitutes building a BEAM plant? Does it have to be in a symbiotic
relationship with another bot? Is it something that uses a D1 solar engine? Is
it a symet dressed like a plant? I have made spinning bouquets, but I don't
think of them as BEAM plants (maybe I should). I have plans for a bouquet that
spins the blooms individually. Is that a BEAM plant then? What if the
arrangement includes blinking fiber optic blossoms? If it just opens, or
blinks, or spins, isn't it still just a symet. Are there any examples of other
approaches besides the sketch mentioned? I hope this isn't an old question, if
it is, responses off the list are welcome.
Sincerely,
Jim
