Illuminated Site of the Week
October 26, 2007: Illuminated Site of the Week: Micro-Escalation
It's somehow poetic to see a cross-pollination of ideas when you're constructing mechanical insects. If you remember Berkeley's robofly, you'll be pleased to know their colleagues - like Professor Robert Wood - at Harvard have managed to develop their own fabrication process to solve some of the trickier problems involved. MIT's Technology Review has the story. Look for the results during a private meeting near you. -- Suggested by Loren Wiseman
And yet, despite how much it sucks, people always go gallivanting around trying to figure out just how far it sucks. You try to tell them "it's infinite," and they say "but how infinite?" Next time, just throw Bablyon 5: The Rim at 'em. If it doesn't make them happy, it will certainly make them quieter.
