95	12/8/2014	Inspired by Nature	Article	4	6	This article looks at four inventions that were inspired by organisms that have amazing abilities thanks to evolution. A car-sized robot designed like a crab can take on sea currents as easily as the real-life crab. It has cameras which can survey the sea floor, respond to oil spills, and assist with search operations. The back of beetle in West Africa is rough and covered with ridges that allow it to gather microscopic water droplets. An engineer is working on creating textured surfaces that mimic this which could revolutionize the way people get water. The sidewinder snake is able to slither up sand dunes. A roboticist studied the way they move their bodies to create a snakebot, which could someday slither into collapsed buildings to find victims or to explore pyramids. A swimming robot which mimics a fish was created to analyse water for pollutants. It cuts the time it takes to locate and test pollution down "from weeks to just a few seconds."	14		biology: adaptations	evolution surface area,	Stacy DL	12/13/14
