BEAM. what about flying BEAM bot!!!...yeah a machine that really fly and
autonomous of course..if you can't do this i'm hoping someone out there
could do it very soon...anyone

Well, an autonomous flying BEAM bot isn't happening any time soon. Sure you
can strap some solarengines onto a blimp, but that's not really
'autonomous'. More like, 'slighly directed drift'.
I like the idea of a brand new tutorial. I'm quasi-working on doing one for
a Lamprey based robot. And Perhaps a Snakebot. Right now, I'm working on
(half heartedly) on sprucing up my own notes and observations and
publishing a little paper on the construction of two motor walkers. Maybe, I
don't know.

Anyway, tutorials are great for anyone. There haven't been any for heads as
far as I know.
