TED-Ed: The Furnace Bots | Think Like A Coder, Ep 3 | Alex Rosenthal

Adila plans to control furnace bots by finding the original bot with a zero in its furnace. The bots replicate, passing serial numbers to offspring. Adila has a data crystal to control the bots, but it must be uploaded to the original bot. Hedge uses a variable to store serial numbers and a loop to find the original bot. Once found, Adila takes control, and the bots safeguard artistic output. Adila then leads Ethic and Hedge to the node of power.

Describe the process by which the furnace bots self-replicate.
