Looks like an episode of robot chicken

WOW!😮😲👏👏👏👏

May be preferable to use paramagnetic aluminum particles and travelling magnetic fields for omni-directional control from embedded electromagnet arrays…

[@UpnaLab]

sounds good, problem seems that paramagnetic effects is that they are really weak.

[@sublucid]

@@UpnaLab That's fair; I guess I was oversold on Professor Eric Laithwaite's demonstrations... I guess it's time for gas-powered digital matter xD

I think it is better to use permanent magnets because electromagnets are energy-hungry and are usually inefficient, generating a lot of heat.
