Bots as soft bodies

<< < (2/2)

Numsgil:
Squishy bots would require surface adhesive.  Basically they'd form a shape and the two bots' surfaces would lock together like velcro.  I just have no idea how to simulate it

bacillus:
Would the changing of shape be involuntary? I'm having trouble imagining what sort of commands would be used to change the shape of an amoeba in 3D-space.

Numsgil:
Controlling it was another hurdle, yes.  I was thinking of having various "strands" that the bot could pull on, and force its shape to conform to different shapes that way.  Like pull the strand that goes from your head to your butt, and now your really fat and not very long.  That sort of thing.  Very fuzzy.

But I more or less have abandoned the idea of squishy bots because I just don't think I can simulate it in sufficient numbers for an ecological simulation.
