Are BEAM bots dead?

[4pyros]

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.
