I think remote-controlled drones and other robotic devices DO in fact have a lot to do with object performance and performing machines and puppets!!

Don't worry, I'm not going to suggest that remotely manipulated tanks
and drone bomber planes operating in a "theater of war" have anything
to do with this conversation.

The same can be said of puppets and automobile construction. When
Japan first wanted to set up auto factories, they had scant
experience doing machines. Builders of karakuri ningyo (wooden robot-
ish puppet) were among the few who knew anything about gears and
stuff, and were called in for their expertise. Talk about your
hybrids...

 From a musician's listserv, here's a link to an article with a
surprising suggestion for people who fly with delicate, precious
items; "Pack a gun"!
