RE: [DIYbio] Re: If you had unlimited access to money and equipment what cool Science experiment would you try?

I would make a plant motile. A pet that feeds itself. One that moves in our sense of "real time". Charging during the day, moving around at night. Would be fun. Little shop of horrors...minus the horrors. Not a hybrid of an animal or insect and a plant, it will solely rely on photosynthesis for its energy. A kind of BEAM robot. Might need to crank up RuBisCo efficiency which may solve some biomass and crop growth issues too. Everyone wins. :P
