🧵 Nanobots

Anonymous No. 16172132

In the big hero movie, there were things called microbots.
I wondered if it would be possible to create such devices in the future but much smaller.
I imagine these nanobots will be able to replicate themselves as well as occupy specific roles within a group.
For example, a set of nanobots can shape themselves into a pipe which will allow fluids to pass through. These pipes will form a grid onto which other nanobots would attach themselves and transform into solar panels. The energy accumulated by the solar panel nanobots will be offloaded into the pipes which will then send that energy to nanobots that are specialized in storing energy.
Will we eventually be able to create such nanobots or is it too far fetched?

Who knows anon, you're talking nanotech sci-fi, literally. For now, it's just a fantasy. We have to wait and see where the research and the engineering takes us.

Depends on your magic system I suppose.

They gave you the honest answer, OP. What the fuck were you expecting?

Looks like you didn't get it either.

Oh come on you guys
I though you were smart enough to understand that the question was a riddle
The technology already exists!

haha, I almost suggested that in jest, but I went for a serious answer above
