I think the craziest thing is that almost every feature he built into BEHEMOTH is now covered by the average smartphone (+ a small solar panel).
- FullyFunctional 1y agoYes, but this is way beyond that IMO. Really lovely project that I of course must build
- buttetsu 1y agoI had never heard of Steve Roberts or these amazing bike projects. Reading up through the development of BEHEMOTH put an huge smile on my face, thank you. Such passion!
- EvanAnderson 1y agoIf you want to see BEHEMOTH it used to be at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. I'd assume it's still there. Edit: Yeah!
