Hi, Ben.

Thanks for the FRED circuit. I've added it to the circuits page and I'll
be uploading the revisions in the next couple of days.

Hi all. I think I'm just about ready to stop lurking and actually get
BEAMing. Problem is I'm an idiot when it comes to circuitry, I'm using
BEAM as a fun way to get started learning electronics. I was wondering
where I could get my hands on a breadboard, as I'm likely to do a lot of
fiddling to get things right. Is it possible to find one for a decent
price? I am way to cheap to get one from radio shack, 25-30 bucks seems
like a heck of a lot. Any way, thanks all, and I hope to get BEAMin
soon ( Ive got a lot of design ideas I want to try)

I'm probably the local expert on the LEGO motors. I've built three walkers
and a dismally unsuccessful PhotoVore using these little beauts! Here's a
short animated gif of "Baby Scratchy" in action:

These motors can only be purchased from the LEGO Shop At Home catalog. As
far as I know, they're only available in the US and they cost $11.00US.
They cost a bit, but they look great and run pretty good, too.

ITWOTM, enjoy!
