Brewing a virus
Not something usually encouraged online.
But let's consider the advantage of our good friends the viruses... Why not there are ~100 billion in the average litre of surface seawater... so they're impressively good at living an stuff.

Spangly, spikey, ungainly, looking bunch of freaks that we may often mistake them for, beauty is in the eye of the brew holder.

Viruses are or could be, like the reverse of the machine we're trying to engineer.
Loads of cooperative minimal control twisting and writhing propulsion.
