It's about the marketing, my friends. No bucks -- no Buck Rogers.

I enjoyed hearing Ira Flatow call it the "World Robotics Championship" during his NPR Science Friday show last week.

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.
