This is sort of the grandaddy of BEAM robots, the one which everyone who's into
it has built.

This is one of the main themes in BEAM robotics, look around on the net for
more info. These are two cool sites about it:

There's also a mailing list somewhere.

| Hi All, Ben Jackson's robot that avoids obstacles without a CPU got be to think about the idea of using mechanics in place of AI. As I understand Ben's bot, it's built with a diferential. When the robot drives normally, the differential turns only (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
