Could you take little sections of this stuff, stack them together, and use them as a sort of programmable matter type thing?

Maybe if you fold them over or something they could just basically expand and contract. So you expand a bunch in one section to make a feature. Then wrap the whole thing in a very flexible skin. Press a button on a computer, and it morphs between (for example) an alligator shape and a person shape.

Or it would be cool if you could make a ball shape with a solar power source inside, and it could push itself around and collect energy. It could turn on and off rows of "buttons" to give itself momentum.

Throw in a camera for object tracking; or a bright light - you could make little glowing orbs that roll around, float in water etc.

Throw a bunch over a wall - they move around and map rooms as a swarm.
