I’ll bet you can use this to teach economic theories (self-organising of free markets, that sort of thing).

What does the slider control do?

What does the slide-bar do? I could perceive any change in bot behavior when it was moved.
Crap, I left the light on when I browsed away.

It controls the strength of attraction between the little suction-cup hands on the critters, I think.

+ gravity, which apparantly is bad for dancin’, shimmin’, doin’ the twist and shakin’ yo booty.

Actually, it seems to have something to do with the flexibility or springiness of the legs. When it’s all the way at the top, the legs don’t bend much, and when it’s at the bottom they bend all the way but eventually spring back.
