Erin,
Have you read Lessons from Plants by Dr. Beronda L. Montgomery? If not, you definitely have to! I love it and have read it a few times. I'm absolutely captivated by the concept of learning from nature. It sounds like you are too!

So fun to see what you've built. When it comes to devices out in nature, especially habitat monitoring applications, battery life is one of the biggest concerns and remains problematic. What ideas do you have around preserving the battery life as much as possible? Did you perhaps consider extreme power management for your underwater buoy robot since it might be underwater for a while? 11:47:21 From Gillian Minnehan : *your 11:51:28 From Andrew Huddleston : Great talk! I would be interested in hearing more about the Ropeless Fishing technology. Where is the work on this going?
