  In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. Emergence is central to the theories of integrative levels and of complex systems.

The idea is to build a number of small (palm sized) and relatively inexpensive ($50 is the target) robots, and give them the basic abilities to communicate with each other and adapt to their environment. The idea is to see what kind of complex social behavior we can coax out of a multiple of relatively simple machines, and hopefully be surprised by something we didn't explicitly program them to do.

So far two of the prototypes have been built, and we could use help building at least another 10.
