As always, I can count on you, Bruce, for insightful and carefully
considered input! A Universal BEAM Communication Device, huh? Not my
original direction, but a good place to start. Wilf has done a couple of
chirper circuits and I have a few condenser microphones laying around here
somewhere...

Yeah, I kinda thought that I'd have to do this. This is one of the things
that I've been working on for the Soccer Project and it was my plan to
introduce it after deveolping it, but my robot time has been drastically
reduced. I'm on vacation until after Christmas, so I'm hoping that I'll
have some time to devote to these projects.
