Line 401:

Three large scale prototypes were built in attempt to demonstrate dynamically programmable three-dimensional stochastic reconfiguration in a neutral-buoyancy environment. The first prototype used electromagnets for module reconfiguration and interconnection. The modules were 100&nbsp;mm cubes and weighed 0.81&nbsp;kg. The second prototype used stochastic fluidic reconfiguration and interconnection mechanism. Its 130&nbsp;mm cubic modules weighed 1.78&nbsp;kg each and made reconfiguration experiments excessively slow. The current third implementation inherits the fluidic reconfiguration principle. The lattice grid size is 80&nbsp;mm, and the reconfiguration experiments are under way.<ref>
