Friendly Neighbor (Persp)Now that the tower formation is a bit sloppier, and approximates the dripping of the material a bit, a method of colonization can begin to be developed. In this version, material is dripped down from a source–the robot–at each individual formation. After a layer is deposited, the robot checks to see where its closest neighbor is and then drips down the next layer of material a bit closer to that neighbor. Thus, the formations rise up and begin to bridge towards each other in unexpected ways.
