Subject: 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
