beam = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam

The  place to ask questions and discuss basic BEAN ideas and circuits

alt-beam = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/alt-beam

The purpose of this list is to act as a "corporate memory" for the BEAM community. Its particular usefulness comes from being able to search for information in any of the messages from the list from January 27th - 1999 to April 14th - 2000

spinalcolumn = http://www.egroups.com/group/spinalcolumn

A discussion of the applicability of complex bicore (and other) networks to the creation of control systems (including artificial spinal cords) for robots.

beam-elite = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam-elite

Once upon a time, long long ago there was a beam-elite emailing list. Perhaps this will be its reincarnation.

small-gods = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/small-gods

A group for people who think that BEAM is about creating artificial life. Not merely robotics nor cybernetics nor all of that stuff.

bicore = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bicore

This group was established just to keep the word "bicore" available for any future BEAM group that might wish to discuss such robotic designs.

beamrobotics club (on yahoo) = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beamrobotics/

Another BEAM robot group

beam-heretics = http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beam-heretics

A beam group related to the beam-heretics web-site listed below
