Hi,
I am a researcher who is interested in modular robotics. I was recently told that in Stargate a "technology" is features, that resembles what could be considered a self-replicating modular robot. I did some research in the Omnipedia of this great website and came across this article about Replicators.
I have never watched Stargate so I did some searching on Youtube for some of the characters and terms included in this article and found out that there seem to be two distinct types of Replicators: Older ones which are based on some biological concept and evolved to look human-like (these seem to be called the Asuran race). But then there is a newer type of Replicators which look like big insect bugs and are visible made out of modules. I like those more, because they look more like modular robots!
Here are my questions to you Stargate enthusiasts:
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jonas

Here are my questions to you Stargate enthusiasts:
- Did I understand things right, is what I write in the above paragraph correct?
- Can someone point me to scene where the science behind the new type replicators is explained or where they are shown in great detail?
- And finally, where could I get hold of this scene (if there is one). I could, of course, buy a DVD pack. But are there other (legal) ways to watch Stargate, maybe on some internet streaming portal like Hulu or Netflix?
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jonas
