It has its own syntax, but it is quite similar to java and an easy one to use. http://www.arduino.cc/ There are many other microprocessors out there such as PIC that you can use. But to use these, you need some electronics knowledge, if you never built any robot before, I suggest you to check out www.solarbotics.com . They have some nice kits to start robotics. Good luck =) Hi there Cosmin,

I would really like to learn how to make them, i know this sound like a crappy question, but i'm not a noob, i am kinda familiar with programming, more on web programming and a little C++. So can you recommend me some tutorials or resources something you started on when you were like me ?:) Thanks!

Not sure tho, it has been some time since Ive built it. Hey there, it was a quite simple robot, I believe the circuit was on:

Referring to the post, Small Fella, how do you build that robot? Can you draw a schematic for it? I would really like to use that as a template for my BEAM bot. Of course, you will be in my credits. Can email it to me? (thercube@gmail com - add a period) Thanks and continue building these fantasic robots. Cool, robots.
