Subject: Disappointment, not critics
I didn't mean to insult people who don't have the shills for building bots
yet, but I just think we should try to keep things our beloved BEAM-way. The
last months I see an increased number of variations on beam wich are called
"proudly" BEAM, but don't have the initial thoughts and ideas beam was meant
to.
About the systemizing of bots I didn't mean to give the bot a tag, but it's
achievement. I don't want an air around the community like :"My bot is
qualified better than yours", but sometrhing to indicate what the bots goals
are, what it was built to do and if it achieved to do what it was built for
and so creating a way for other people to learn about mistakes other people
made by using the wrong design for a goal.
I like you all, and don't want to make enemies, but I just wanted your
attention on this subject: be careful what to call a bot or what to call
BEAM. BEAM is sacred to me, I even wonder if my 240 walker is beam enough,
because it has so little response on its environment.
Have a think on this, and don't be angry with me
