A cool post on pink tentacle challenged me...

"Dr. Norihiko Ishikawa of the Department of Telesurgery and Geomedicine at the University of Kanazawa demonstrates the precision of the daVinci Surgical System by using the device’s remote-control robot arms to fold a penny-sized origami crane."



That's pretty cool, but I knew I could do better, even with my giant human-sized fingers. So I did one that's about half the size of a dime.

I like distracting myself at a bar or meeting folding small things. There's usually a wrapper or something around to work with.

Inspiration: Gaff the paper folder in Blade Runner.
