Bitbeam – The Open Source Building Toy

Bitbeam is a LEGO Technic-compatible building technology. Bitbeam can be printed on a 3d-printer or cut with a CNC router or laser-cutter, which means it can also be made out of plastic, wood, or aluminum. The Demo will include how to make bitbeam with a 3d-printers or laser-cutters. And show off various robots built with bitbeam. One Bitbeam bot is called “TestDriver” — a delta-robot design that plays Angry Birds on an iPad.
