Ok, just a few things:

  1. I completely appreciate the hard work and long hours it took to make something like this – it’s more complex than anything I could ever invent, that’s for sure.
  2. Bill’s point in MB2A about how much fun Americans are is well taken. We are a fun bunch and anybody who wants to create things and has a sense of humor should do so.
  3. These machines are programmed by people and can be deactivated by people so the chances one of these bots will shimmy on over from Beantown and kill me is very, very slim.

But it still just kinda wierds me out!
Not to put down the engineering genius of these people or anything.

I’m wondering why the space has bulletproof glass and orange barricades. Pretty cool dancing. Also thinking it won’t be long b4 one of these prototypes will become LE after defunding happens.
Okay, I’ll just enjoy the rest of the dance. LOL
