Well one line of chimps seemed to grasp the tool making concept and you can see how they tuned out. Who's to say it can't happen twice?

I liked the idea of using the Arduino as a programming centre. Put the chip into a project and then grab another chip to program for the next project.
"In these, they roamed among the stars. They no longer built spaceships, they were spaceships.
But the age of Machine-entities swiftly passed. In their ceaseless experimenting, they had learned to store knowledge in the structure of space itself, and to preserve their thoughts for eternity in frozen lattices of light. They could become creatures of radiation, free at last from the tyranny of matter.
Into pure energy, therefore, they presently tranformed themselves; and on a thousand worlds, the empty shells they had discarded twitched for a while in a mindless dance of death, then crumbled into rust.
Now they were lords of the galaxy, and beyond the reach of time. They could rove at will among the stars, and sink like a subtle mist through the very interstices of space. But despite their godlike powers, they had not wholly forgotten their origin, in the warm slime of a vanished sea."
It's great to see it once one way, but if you can throw in that real life factor of "you'll see something like this again but not exactly like this".
Maybe OP should try to publish an ebook on his 10 year adventure?
