Author: Penelope Boston
«The best thing about these places is that large -- as in macroscopic -- buried fossilized material is usually weathering out of the outcrops.

The critical thing is how does the swarm behave? Can we direct the individuals enough that the overall motion of the entire swarm is in the direction we want to proceed?»
Author: Penelope Boston
«The individual units are very cute and very adorable. But the function of them as an ensemble is where the real strategy lies.»
Author: Penelope Boston
