In a youtube video we noticed MakerBeam is used in MIT. It shows it is always handy to have MakerBeam lying around, or in this case MakerBeamXL.

With just a few small printed parts, some 15x15 MakerBeam XL extrusions, you can convert an inexpensive tank chassis into a modular ROS powered rover. The 15x15 extrusions let you slide in 3mm hex nuts anywhere you want to attach a sensor. See the pictures below and visit cattern.com

Vincent Mensink of Studio Mensink shows a rig that he made and is used in a film. Also the workstation is made using MakerBeamXL

According to their website Roboat (Roboat.org) is a 5 year research project and collaboration between the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In developing the world's first fleet of autonomous floating vessels for the city of Amsterdam, it investigates the potential of self-driving technology to change our cities and their waterways.

Roboat used MakerBeamXL to create their prototype self-driving boat, see the pictures.
