  1. That thruster control for the satellite is a thing of beauty. I'd love to see an animation of how it works!

  3. That's a good point, TonyOneBlairoby. But if the switch is made of plastic the only real environmental processes it needs to worry about are exposure to sunlight and heat. And if it's encased within a switchplate and/or within a wall it probably won't be exposed to much of either. But on the other hand, other applications of flexible machines might have more of a problem with wear, like the flexible cam for the chainsaw.
