You dont need to understand BEAM robotics, or know anything about Mark Tilden, in order to enjoy your Robosapien. However, not only is a basic understanding of the background of the robot (and the theories that make it tick) interesting, but these concepts open up opp- tunities to further explore your Robosapien.
