i just had another idea, what if the bot could identify different sounds or
number of beeps. the bots would then have a way of communicating,,,,cool.
but to do this would probibly be a little more digital then BEAMish :-)
darn.

remember a certian location or aviod others. thats one more way a bot could
react with its environment.

just noticed Mims' "Getting Started" book has a much
simpler chirp generator. Shown in my book to be on
page 109.
I think all i would have to do is free form this circuit
and attach positve to my reverser cap.
Only prob is it calls for 9V, and the bot uses 4.8V.
wattya yall think?
