NanoBot
When our man was staying in Japan, he got cornered by a stranger who started talking enthusiastically about his nano-machines. Waving blue-prints in our man's face and everything.
Turned out there was a big world-wide nano-machines developers conference nearby. Our man was too jet-lagged to remember anything more about it, or indeed, to take photographs of the blue-prints in an attempt at industrial espionage and give a new direction to our business. Hence we're still stuck doing animations here at Funny Little Men.
