yeah, you're right. It's just that beam bots are made as simple as possible and from recycled stuff, scrap etc. Even the battery here is recycled, but I get your point. Most beam bots i have made use solar energy, this has a battery charged with solar cells so i just didn't see big difference here but i can change the name for clarity :)
The bristle sure is hard to cut. I used wirecutters and worked slowly through the whole brush to make sure the lenght is even. I tried this bot with full lenght bristle and it was way too unstable and even with it cut flat it needed those leds to stay upright.
That's a bristlebot with LEDs basically

@Vidzaboutstuff09 actually, B.E.A.M bots don't always have to be solar powered.

@Vidzaboutstuff09 B.E.A.M. is for biology, electronics, aesthetics and mechanics; solar power is not a requirement.

Li-po seems to be caffeine for robots, apparently.
