    Hi Whit. Nice find. Yes, they're all based on Propeller chips.

    Actually the vid is blocked.. but the concept is not surprising. Robots are ideally suited for building small mass produced homes for the homeless.

    I'm exploring some simple robotic swarming techniques using a clustered propeller machine. My main interest is in testing the swarming algorithms inside many processors that can spatially align themselves through software wiring and rewiring. I think there is a great interest in this and simple parallel machines will utilize swarming for problem solving.

    Here's a link to some swarming projects.
