For this #ThinkTankThurday, we found this phenomenal story from nationalgeographicmagazine about this new approach to and use for micro-robots. Numerous industries could benefit from these engineers who are making things "smaller, perhaps faster, certainly cheaper, than traditional robotics systems," according to Wood. They are building everything from scratch and developing new technology. This project is the perfect example of how influential and impactful making can be. Take an idea, test it out, and see where it goes. Sometimes it flies.
