id love to see people build hundreds of these and let them into the fields and deserts and moors and see them roam in the open outdoors

@theonelinerkid At a lecture at UWO Mark Tilden showed pictures of just such an experiment. He released robots similar to the one above into a desert. The cool thing was robots of similar make actually formed herds even though they were released in different relative locations. Was tres cool.
