>Hey there,
> Just thought I'd take a min or two and introduce myself as a new
>listmember. I'v always been intrigued with robotics in general and heavily
>in BEAM robotics. Only until lately in the last year have I learned enough
>about electronics to do something with that interest. I'm currently(well
not
>now that school's out) in the Electronics Related Technology shop at a
>Career and Tech center in Southern PA and will be a Junior next year. I
>think the points of BEAM that appeal most to me are the facts that many
>things can be done in BEAM robotics with little or subtle money. Being a
>student I don't have a whole lotta money to play around with, so the BEAM
>side of robotics lets me 'make my cake and eat it too'. In otherwords I can
>toy around with robotics without shelling out lotsa cash. Most of my
>'experiance' with electronics has been from tinkering at home here with
>projects such as power supplies, tone decoders, and other small circuits.
>I'm looking forward to designing/building some 'interesting' projects which
>have a bit more reactivness than say a LC bandpass filter...:-) I guess you
>could say that my 'goal' is to learn enough from BEAM to work my way up to
>microcontrollers and more advanced robotic desings. There's still plenty
>about BEAM which surpasses what I know now so it should be a fun and
>meaningfull experiance.

>Regards and thanks in advance-you'll be hearing from me more frequently as
I
>get into this more! :-)
