| The MDMS prototype sits on a table with 5 inch
spacing between cells. Pairs of motorized orange roller wheels support and
manipulate the white cardboard box resting on top. The cells mount to a
breadboard base and communicate with each other through the grey ribbon
cables. Each cell has its own controller and electronics situated underneath
the motors and wheels. |
