Moving On

Team Mars - 502 is coming to a close on our final ideas and we have started working on our presentation. The machine is somewhat submarine like, and the final product should be able to maneuver its way through any semi-aqueous solution. To fix the membrane potential we have decided that the best route would be to supply each nanomachine with a small amount of sodium / other charged ion. The machine will inject a nanoneedle into the cell and when the machine receives the proper stimulus it will dump the needle's contents into the cell, restoring membrane potential for a set period of time. Machines that have used up their reserves will remove themselves and be replaced by another machine. Expended machines will be dumped into the bloodstream and removed from the body. More info after our next meeting.
