The chembots are coming

Chembots are tiny robots made of chemicals that expand on command.

The chembots could get into a building through a crack, for example. They could explore a cave or crevice and dismantle an explosive. Or they might climb ropes, wires or trees. Another tiny idea: One chembot could pack a smaller chembot into a situation, then release it for even more minute explorations.

Mostly, I like typing chembots.

Chembots.

There, it’s meaningless.

    And when they get tired they will retire to little trailers, where they will watch sit-coms about chembots that get themselves into ridiculous fixes.

    Well, until chembots are welcome in the boardroom and the halls of Congress, lets not fool ourselves about “change.”

    Chembots can get in through your crack and release smaller chembots for exploration. I’d most definitely buy a pack of six.

    Chembots are eating my brain…
