   A great idea. Lets use solis state semiconductor tech to   
   make something mechanical, that can break.   
      
   I think the idea of 'moving' semiconductors was always fascinating.   
      
   Dreamt once that I emptied a bag of parts on my bench and watched   
   as they automatically reassembled themselves into their last physical   
   iteration.   
      
   It was extremely depressing, at the time . . . .
