YES .....
In Fact It was My very First attempt at BEAM Stuff...
Completed April of 1993

Competed and won gold in the 93 BEAM Robot Games, after it
crawled right over one of Mark's original BEAMants and dragged
it around for a couple of hours stuck in the bumper....

Now retired and sitting on a shelf collecting honourable Dust...
I've always had half a mind to return to the design and build a
bigger better faster one..

I'll see If I can dig Up a picture for you.
