In regard to constructing self-replicating robots - how can it be done?? It seems to me that to build such a robot the most advanced technology must be used, but for that robot to reproduce it must incompass all of that technology. Some examples of this are IC masking, steel production, material refinement, etc. If we could develope such a machine all of our work would be done and we could just go along for the 'ride'. I feel when we reach the point of being able to produce such a machine we will have the ability to do far more productive things and such a machine would ill never be built.
