BICORE ARTICLE
by YukuanMark
The suspended bicore is the core of most BEAM devices. It’s unique structure makes it very easy to customize for a wide range of uses. These uses vary from blinking LED’s to servo-drivers to walkers.
How to freeform the H-bridge - by Brian Hendrickson
by YukuanMark
Most of us are familiar with Beckingham's photovore block (also known as Chiu's). The following is a similar format used for freeforming a simple H-bridge motor driver that can be used for walkers, heads, and any other project that uses motors that requir
How to free form the Bicore
by YukuanMark
The Bicore is one of the easiest BEAM circuits to free form and can be built in 10 to 60 minutes depending on your skill level. I would recommend you read the whole tutorial first, this will GREATLY lower the chance of you making a mistake.

BEAM robotics is the brain child of Mark W. Tilden who is currently working at "Los Alamos National Laboratory" in Los Alamos, New Mexico, US. BEAM robotics as described in the BEAM rule book: 1/: A description of what aspects a roving robot creature coul
BEAM robotics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
by YukuanMark
The word "beam" in BEAM robotics is an acronym for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, and Mechanics. This is a term that refers to a style of robotics that primarily uses simple analog circuits instead of a microprocessor in order to produce an unusually s
Mark Tilden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
by YukuanMark
Mark W. Tilden is perhaps most well known for his invention of BEAM robotics. He is a robotics physicist, who produces complex robotic movements from simple logic circuits, often all on the single logic chip and without a microprocessor.
