Three-legged alien robot. (Read the full article)

"An interesting question that "Rama" raises is "how were the biots made?" As Clark has done so many times before he may have predicted another future technology, Molecular Fabrication. Touched on in "Startrek TNG" and in the movie "I Robot" nonotechnology may make possible the construction of a wide range of things that presently require conventional manufacturing techniques or are simply impossible to build. Nano robots are approaching living cells in their complexity and variablilty as well as their capabilities. It is an interesting future to consider."
