Go to http://www.danroe.net/ for high resolution images of this sculpture and many others.
Solar powered robotic dragonflies forage under a 60W spotlight.
This sculpture is designed with open source BEAM circuits and off the shelf technologies (including 1381 solar engines, o-rings and hose clamps).
The dragonflies and the music seem to move with a harmony of spare elegance. Thank you for this moment Dan.

Hmmm, this seems to be an argument for intelligent design. Clearly the watchmaker was not blind.

Nicely done, Dan! Congrats!
When are you going to build one that tells jokes or plays canasta or sweeps the floor? These robots all seem to just care about themeselves.
