Brian, by not not-knocking your proposal, I wasn't implicitly knocking it either.

I know of it, but I haven't read it and don't know what to call it. I was attempting to convey that any robot controller that makes it to market is likely to inspire kids. Theres this Danish company that I'm pretty involved with that wasn't not-knocked either.

As for NI's presence on CD, I'm here in large part because I value skepticism and alternative ideas. I also believe that FUD fills an information void, and I'd prefer to be direct and open when possible.

CD also lets me observe and participate with kids working their way through issues. The CD village needs all sorts, and as long as the focus doesn't veer too far away from building future generations of leaders/engineers/artists, I'm willing put up with quite a bit.
