Re: Dean Kamen's Luke Arm

I like the video where he talks about FIRST. One sequence in particular struck me as incredibly potent.

"We picked robots because they're visual, they're fun, and they're exciting when you make 'em. No pun intended, the robot was just a vehicle to connect kids to serious adults in a positive fun environment that was going to be at least as exciting and attractive to these kids as a football game, and they would see these world class thinkers and doers and builders. Each kid would see the Shaquille O'Neil of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems, thinking..."

Good food for thought, especially to those who believe this program is about a bunch of students building a robot.
