Personally I don't think that there is a limit to Beam
Tech, only a limit to our current understanding of
what it is that we are trying to do. Any biological
creature is just a link of cells and neurons, that is
it, (but with an exponential amount of possibilities
compared to a Bicore) yet we are able to do complex
tasks (a relative statement)and from what? Uptaking
some seritonin or releasing endorphins, synaptic
potential (74HC14 :)). Bicores and Microcores is just
at the begining of a robotic philosophy. 2 types of
electronic neurons. There are obviosly more
possibilites than just these 2, if you are saturated
with doing these why not TRY AND INVENT DIFFERENT
"CORES"? Try and make a walker with a CMOS 4041, or
anything. Or interface a Basic Stamp as Fang is (was)
working on. Limits on Beam Tech you say, I think the
only limits are those that you place upon it.
