Mark Yim took the cake at MODULATIONS with his modular,
auto-configuring robots. I saw video of one of 'em
inchworming right up and climbing a chainlink fence.
Y'all, that was just downright unheimlich.

Mark Yim and his writhing boxes
If I ever crash in the Andes and there's nothing
left but small, box-shaped pieces of airplane,
I hope that Professor Yim is on the flight
and we don't make the mistake of eating him
before he finds his pliers.
