>I recently saw a piece of wire that would be useful in a robot but I don't know where to find some.  Maybe someone out there can help.  This wire shrinks to 75%of its size when power is applied to it.  We applied ~6 volts @ 1 amp and a 6"  piece shrunk to about5 1/2 inches. I believe the wire goes under the name of    BioMetal.  It may be from a company called Mondo-tronics from Sunnyvale.  It mayalso have the name Nitinol.  Has anyone heard of this?
