Called in at the Box Shop to meet some of the people building OrbSwarm. I found myself volunteering for this because they need help, I know some people involved and it was just too cool. They have an mechanical prototype constructed and running around in order to see where their plans conflict with reality.
They definitely know what they're doing, having made the "Serpent Mother" for BurningMan last year. Dozens of stainless-steel conjoined segments of the "Serpent Mother" were glinting in the sun outside.
