karmakramer Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well I am sure the actual robot would be easy to design, but the AI would probably have to be pretty fucking advanced. Its interesting how fucking advanced AI would have to be for something thats pretty much as dumb as a piece of sand.

Siegecow Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 it would be so interesting to design, im struggling not to try drawing up designs for a beebot already! http://www.gorobotics.net/the-news/latest-...flight-theories Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Siegecow's signature Hide all signatures On 3/16/2011 at 8:14 PM, troon said: fuck off!

karmakramer Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I wonder if they could use nanotechnology in some fashion for this...

Guest boo Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 if there were robot bees, everyone would try to collect them, so they would need electric shock stingers Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/45556-bees/page/3/#findComment-1038839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you're just using them from a commercial standpoint they wouldnt need to go that far from whatever they need to polinate.

It would be kind of cool if we found a way to develop a robo-bee to pollinate our crops for us. I would be stoked as fuck to have a couple of robo-bees gettin down in my garden. man... this would indeed be awesome. maybe the bees dieing is actually in the end a good thing? I mean ever since we have started fucking around genomes and shit... humans have basically become god. its our world now bitches... bees that pollinate and also piss honey in your mouth whenever you want them too! nano-bees! or nanobots our retarded reproduction organs in the future will need... ...nanospermenhancer or.... think of the POWER!
