Some scientists at the Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute, are trying to create robots that are able to exhibit teamwork. They research and study ants and their habits of teamwork. They even have computers record and analyze the ants to identify each ant's role within the colony. The computer will also point out rules of behavior and how the ants communicate. They are desperate to duplicate this in a working robot.
             Some consider the organization and structure is something to admire, even envy in ants. Humans can't even begin to compare to ants in that aspect. The ants seem to work without being told and are unquestioning. One could easily classify them as drones.
             When looking at humans, it is easy to see that most are creatures of habit. This is another thing we share with the ants. However, a growing number of people are starting to share a negative ant characteristic. So many of us go along like drones, unquestioning
