Once all the cubes are out and down, the mass begins reassembling the box, starting from the ground up. After the box of beams is complete, the cubes retreat to the center and again, form a pyramid. This process can be repeated until the batteries drain, or indefinitely if supplied with recharging induction coils in the floor of the aquarium. This is Robotic Construction International's first commercial application of Fractal Robotic technology. Emergency aircraft runways could be erected by programming these robotic cubes to arrange themselves in flat masses of plates.
Smaller cubes get interesting.
