Termite-inspired robots

• ... that termite-inspired robots may someday build a base for humans on Mars?

• Proper length, good sources, interesting hook. A few typos in the article, but nothing disastrous (I may fix the typos myself a bit later). The sources only briefly mention Mars, but they do make it clear that these robots could be used for offworld construction, so I'm assuming good faith. Overall, good to go. – Michaelmas1957 ( talk) 06:45, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
