My Craziest idea ever

<< < (2/2)

bacillus:
I think that even with the basics, such a mechanism would be amply difficult. For example, feeding in DB requires a shot to impact a bot, regardless of where it hits, while with these bots, they have to pinpoint the plug of the prey, and compensate for motion etc.

jknilinux:
If you've looked at pictures of the cybugs, you'll notice they have two whiskers at the front which are connected directly to the batteries. With the original feeding strategy, they run around on aluminum foil such that the foil is always connected to their negative terminal. That way, all they need to do is touch their whiskers together to share energy. A diode on the predator can ensure that it's the one gaining energy. So, it's actually very simple. It's shown in the first picture.

With my idea, the robot is seen edge-on. It's basically the idea shown in the predator + prey picture I'm showing here (number 3). They don't need to couple the connectors exactly, because the connector spans the entire front and back of the robot.
