Good morning.
Sunday brings a one-third chance of afternoon showers and a high of sixty.
A newspaper headline proclaims ‘These Robotic Blocks Can Automatically Combine Themselves To Build New Robots,’ and that’s pretty close to true (and spot on amazing):
Over at MIT, a student came up with an idea for modular robots – independent robots that can operate on their own or recombine with each other in various ways to create brand new robots made up of these smaller autonomous units.
It took some tinkering, but the idea came to fruition. They’re called M-Blocks – small cubes without moving parts, loaded up with electronics that help them roll and jump around a room.
And as you’ll see in the video below, they are smart enough to detect each other and figure out how to join up to create new devices.
For the Friday poll, asking about the believability of a supposed Bigfoot video, 69.23% of respondents said the video was poop, but 30.77% thought it was proof.
