Chem-bots bad

The robot DARPA wants to see must be a soft, flexible, mobile robot that can squeeze into hard-to-reach places

I can't even count the ways that soft, flexible, mobile robots that can squeeze into hard-to-reach places is a bad idea.

about:robots

Oh well, got to go do some multi-tasking on the Swamp Rabbit Trail between my house and Travelers Rest. Headed to Leopard Forest and shooting video, etc. along the way to prepare myself for a future projects. I'll keep an eye out for robots in the woods.
