Requirements:
Use:
There may be broader applications for this device, but the primary use is as a response to the following scenario:
If you are invited to visit the Large Hadron Collider, and some scientist there starts bragging about the colossal scientific instruments they have, a devastating response would be to open up a matchbox and say, "Oh yeah? Got one of these?", and let the machine leave the matchbox and hopefully begin buzzing orbits around the bragging scientist's head.
Budget is tight.
- Between .5cm and 1cm large.
- It must negotiate 3-D space in an air atmosphere.
- It must be capable of autonomous existence.
- It must be capable of high-g acceleration to rapidly start and stop.
- It must be able to remain stationary on a surface at any spatial orientation.
- It must self-replicate.
- It must derive power from organics such as sugar and poop.
- It must be able to detect and evade moving objects.
- It must exhibit a preference to orbit the heads of humans.
- It is desirable that it emit a general buzzing sound. The louder the better.
