New bot shape

<< < (10/15) > >>

Cyberduke:
It might be cool to have two separate cells in the same organism have eyes in order to judge distance?

Numsgil:
I thought about that once but single bots really need to be able to judge distance as well, or it becomes hard to design interesting bots.

Cyberduke:
How current are the more recently expressed ideas on slime, shell and using inanimate material in the environment to break apart and build structures with or digest and utilize as a mineral?
With the current joint ideas if you authored a simple single algae cell, could you anchor it to structures in the environment? maybe using slime/glue? or even attach/stick to another cell without a join/tie

(I am not sure what’s with all the '/'s either)

--- Quote from: bacillus ---Primordial Life is interesting, however I think that evolving such a creature would be something to aspire to rather than have it built-in. I do think, however, that certain substances, such as chlorophyll and muscle, will act as a sort of substitute for these "body parts".

Well, in nature, don't different bacterial species have different shapes as well? In fact, if we want true multicellularity, then doesn't that require specialized tissues, with specialized cells? Besides, it will make it far more interesting, even at the single-cell scale.

Well, no I wouldn't take bacteria as a good example for different shapes. Diversity in shapes overall between animals, plants and fungus is there anyway, I just wanted to nitpick  .
Substances like chlorophyll will as I see it make for a big part specialised cells. They are the reason after all leafs are green.

So, I am sorry for missing your point. What did you meant?
