I think I remember seeing a book on early (analog!)
AI back in the 60s by W Grey Walter (UK)who made little
turtle things much like todays robot kits (was a 
behavorist, possibly first to notice 'emergent behavior'
but never made any big deal of it).

has more effect on complex devices that the mere 
number of parts.
I think this is something we overlook, in designing weirder modules.
