“Our intern Jennero Rossi has been working diligently on his very first short documentary to give a first hand look into the world of robotics. We’re hoping that people who are interested in learning about robotics could find this video inspirational and see that they don’t need a PhD to start getting involved.”
Not that you should underestimate the knowledge, skill, and ingenuity of robot builders, but you shouldn’t let the fact that it’s robotics intimidate you, either. As several people in the video point out, a lot has changed in a very short time, and robotics is easier to get started with now than it’s ever been before. Go to an event. Take a class. Join a club. Buy a kit. Before you know it, you’ll have your very own mechanical minion with which to enslave and/or destroy humanity. It’ll be fun, I promise!
