Anyone else in this forum into robotics? I dabble in BEAM robotics and armchair research all robotic approaches. Just wondering who else is a techno geek out there

So like can i really get the parts out of walkmans and watches?

I have a few dead watches, and a walkman.

You can get SOME of the parts out of a Walkman. And you can get motors out of watches, but it's difficult to work with them. BEAM was hyped quite a bit in the beginning and a lot of misinformation got put out. You can't build even the simplist BEAM bot solely from the parts you get from a Walkman. You need many parts that need to be gotten from other sources.
