improve both "lightness" and strength of the structurel.

Play well,

I saw this on Slashdot today. Seems some folks calling themselves the "Dynamical & Evolutionary Machine Organization", and funded partially by the Office of naval Research, are using Lego bricks and evolutionary programming to determine optimal (...)
