Thanks to Engadget and the BEAM-mailing list, we can see what they've released at the latest "Consumer Electronics Show" (CES), here on this page and this page.

Symet Workshop
Dave Hrynkiw
February 19, 2002
Here's something to take a boo at a workshop by Tom Mair and a Grade-5 class. From his message to the BEAM mailing list:
Last year I helped Mrs. Corbett's Grade 5 class build robots and we had a blast (see a review here http://www.aasland.com/hcrd.html). Well, this year we are doing it again. We're building SYMETS with 10 year olds ..lots-o-fun ! The web page (in-progress) is already up at http://www.mairs.org/hcrd2k2.html . BIG thanks to Dave and Solarbotics for their support of this project.

For more ambitious projects that need more length, we now have our GroovyNoodle in value-priced 50 meter spools! It's more of our favorite 24AWG wire with a whopping 40 […]
