Wow. Imagine what it would be like if some team of scientists could design a
molecule corresponding to each LEGO element. Then, you could use LEGO as a
prototyping system for nanobots. After you have the basics of your mechanical
design worked out, you could then construct a nanobot based on the same design.
Anyone feel up to the challenge? (-: [-8
