Yeah, what she said!
This paper is cool. I'm testing it on my daughter, who was already into taking things apart. So far she has managed to put the squarebot together. We've driven it enough to be bored. Now I need to order the programming kit, or else continue to depend on my FRC team for that. You can guess which the ten-year-old prefers.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
