Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BEAM Info Center?
I suppose if you want to get creative, you could make a cd-rom. And then you
could make it like a lego workshop where you mix and match virtual peices of
ROBOT! WOuldn't that be cool? That way you wouldn't even need to actually
build a robot! Wow, that would be soo cool!. And you could print out
pictures of your bot to give to friends, and e-mail them twenty minute video
animiations of your robot!
For anyone who thought the above idea was cool,
I was kidding.
Anyway, there really are many many sites for excelent information. I think
probably what people are desiring the most is to see more pictures, of bots.
And I'm hopeing IAN is taking care of this aspect right about now.
