hey, I was just thinking about a neat, yet excedingly boring new beam bot. =
A leach. It would be only a solarcell, a cap, and a small magnet. It would =
sit waiting for it's pretty to come by, then jump on it. And since it's sma=
ll and light it gets dragged around by the photovore from bright light pool=
to brighter light pool. Still satisfying Mark t's Robot laws. (Searching f=
or food) This one just happens to be a parasite!


Hows that for some emergent behavior from a solarcell, capacitor and magnet=
. Three Components, and you have something you might be able to masquarde a=
s innovative! (Jab!)

it's an idea, more suited for study of larger scale robotic enviroments.
