> No doubt this will probably be expensive. A sort of BEAMant colony could
be built. Make a caste system, with workers a queen, maids, anything. I
suggest that we could have each robot have a number ID or something that
would be just a series of different tones (like your telephone numbers) and
when a specific task is needed the "boss" could call up that number then the
corresponding robot would follow the commands givien. That would probably
have to have some kind of processor but it was just a thought.
