Subject: [alt-beam] a BEAM book?


hey all...
I would like to make a BEAM book/manual, because we
really don't have one. I know it might sound really
hard for me, but I found an easier way: with full
permission from each person, I would surf all the BEAM
sites I could find and get all the useful info. then,
after asking each one, I would put it into a book
format (I might modify the text some, but not too
much)... the book would probably start right out with
a chapter on learning electronics. Then would come
basic BEAM theory, circuit things, etc. and then some
info on making each type of robot (chiu's pvore
tutorial, Miller's walker tutorial???) that there
exists a tutorial for... then on to info on more
complex things like mark tilden's bots... the last bit
would be many useful circuits (ie- servo drivers,
stepper motor drivers, etc.)... My first question is
this: is this legal (assuming credit is given
appropriately)??? and would others be willing to come
up with new circuits, articles, etc. to put in it? I
think it would be a big helper to have a BOOK rather
than just web sites so people can learn about BEAM...
well, thanks for reading this long-winded message...

Hello, list!

I want to put up a mirror of the AM Innovations page....... i guess I must
contact Andrew to check if it's OK..... Do anyone have his e-mail?


BTW.... When I'm mailing the list, I'll ask something also :o)

How fast should a motor for a Head be???, Which RPM is optimal?
