I have to say this, even though it may make some people uncomfortable, but I truly love zipties. They're so elegant - permanent, yet disposable. Strong, yet flexible. Ubiquitous, yet somehow.... special. I was seriously more excited about the collector than the obviously cool part of the picture: a 4 wheel holonomic base.
Now that idea would mean we would have a double helix
