I can imagine this revolutionizing manufacturing, but I think history shows most revolutions were unforeseen. So this team will invent a cool, swarming micro-robot technology, and then some other team will find some extraordinary use for it, like heart surgery or something. Then the mafia and drug lords will find some new use for it that will be unethical and vaguely horrifying. This has potential way beyond just circuit boards. Stick a microphone on one of these things and send it into your competitor's HVAC system? That's just the start!

Always thought I'd be looking up when the robot wars begin. Might actually be looking down, as they pool around my feet.
