I wonder if anyone in the research team received a Rubik's Snake for their Xmas in the early 80's, or perhaps saw the triangular robot in the movie 'Demon Seed' from the late 70's.

I've always liked these modular self-assembling robots, they always seem so fascinating, and cute! I like the concept but there are probably problems with battery power life and getting them to stick together strongly. Good fun though. I did like the idea of putting a robot on each leg of a table. Might be something to have a go at sometime in the future.

Very cool! Robots are better in small groups or swarms.
