Instead of sending one, do-it-all bot to sit around or roll around the surface, send a bunch of smaller robotic "blocks" that can assemble themselves into different shapes to best accomplish the task at hand. You can have a walking bot to traverse rough terrain... Which would then reassemble itself into a wheel or tread for smoother surfaces. Need an arm? Build one with the component blocks for a bigger reach to see or touch something. Malfunctioning block? Good thing there are other ones with redundant features that can replace the broken one on-site. <br /><br />The closest SF refs are things like the replicators from SG-1, the Suliban cell ships, or even the Concensus of Parts from Andromeda. Pretty neat stuff.<br /><br />Mark <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Saltah'na</b> <br /><small>Member # 33</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2007,2,2,7,8,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 02, 2007</span> <span class="timeformat-0">07:08 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> You do one more "PEOPLE OF EARTH" announcement and I am going to dropkick you off the CN Tower!!!! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Da_bang80</b> <br /><small>Member # 528</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2007,2,2,10,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">March 02, 2007</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:31 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Sounds like this "Doctor Shen" spent too much time in Legoland... <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
