			== Not just one type of fully general and independently mobile mining decibotbot ==

			I some analogy to [[early diamondoid nanosystem pixel (direct path)]] <br>
			mining decibots would not all be the same and fully general in capability <br>
			but rather a system with a variety of units specialized for different tasks <br>
			and many if not most of them of them may critically rely on gradually built up rail systems of some sort.
