    Will and Norm have both been doing a great job interviewing at this years Maker Faire. No interrupting the interviewee and no presuming to have the same knowledge as the interviewee (we all like to pretend we know more than we do, and this has been commented on in previous videos when working with Adam). Just a good informative interview asking all the right questions, good work guys.

    There's no goddamn way people are going to be making replicas from the RoboCop remake in 30 years. In 20 years, when RoboCop is 50, people will still love it. 10 years from now people won't even remember there was a remake.

The ED209 was by far the most unsuspecting surprise and by far one of the overall coolest ANYTHING I've ever witnessed up front.
