BEAM Stuff

Subscribe to the Beam Mailing List. It's an excellent place for beginners to learn about beam and for more knowledgable people to share ideas and learn about the cutting-edge of BEAM research.


I've collected some important documents in the Influential E-mails section.

Here's Wilf Rigter's NuPages. For the more advanced BEAM roboticists.
