-Another key element of BEAM is the use of 'freeforming' circuits rather than using a conventional substrate upon which to build a circuit, such as a PCB. Components are directly soldered together and become part, or the entirety of the structure of the robot. BEAMer's also prefer to use recycled parts and material in the construction of their robots, and the use of solar power rather than batteries. +A key element of BEAM is the use of 'freeforming' circuits rather than using a conventional substrate upon which to build a circuit, such as a PCB.
