Not sure about the chitin frames and if anyone's looked at that. Sorry!

Response from the writer for this video, Henry: 'Methane for wings is something Cameron mentioned doing in the future but that the ground robot would be a good starting point. In terms of MEMS technology the Harvard robobees are made like that': https://wyss.harvard.edu/technology/pop-up-mems-origami-inspired-micromanufacturing/

Has anyone looked at growing chitin frames for these tiny robots?

I wonder if you could use the methane engine to drive a set of wings. Has anyone employed nano scale, semiconductor technology to create the moving parts?
