Are BEAM bots dead?

I started a head bot with my son and after looking up some stuff a noticed that thare is not much new about BEAM bots on the net, even half the stuff from Solarbotics is gone. I could not find anything on any site dated past 2007. I will have to save all the old stuff before its gone. Andy

Beam bots are not dead. They just are not as popular nowadays.

If you find a circuit for one you can go to an electronics shop and get the right parts to build one out of that circuit.

Have you seen any new websites for BEAM bots?
