Out of curiosity, how small a microrobot can you make and still program it to go to a specific location, say in a vast sewer system (a very VAST system)? The smaller the better, of couse ;) --------- Thanx JP --------- [If you're looking for the ratio between the volume of the robot and that of the system, how about the Voyager probes? :^) Seriously, I don't know of any complete, working, and autonomous robots much less than about a cubic inch (though I'd love to be shown incorrect!) --JoSH]
