Back when I was a kid, I remember 'fluidics' was a big deal, but havn't heard
much about it in several years.  It allowed fluid powered logic devices.  (A fluid
in this case is anything that flows, air from a vacume cleaner exhaust is what 
I used as a power supply for some balsa wood 'flip flops' I made years ago.)

I always thought that it would be interesting to use fluidic devices to control
system like robotics.
