Probably preaching to the choir here, but absolutely. I met a kid this summer who was really not excited about his job saying "He only wanted to do robots." I'm sorry, but pointing to a $330 million airplane and saying "That part is mine." is awesome. Not to mention while most robotics challenges are within the reach of a hobbyist, big engineering challenges like commercial airplanes, bridges, highways, trains and things of that nature really operate on another order of awe inspiring magnitude.
