  • The dragonflies and the music seem to move with a harmony of spare elegance. Thank you for this moment Dan.

  • Hmmm, this seems to be an argument for intelligent design. Clearly the watchmaker was not blind.

  • Nicely done, Dan! Congrats!

    When are you going to build one that tells jokes or plays canasta or sweeps the floor? These robots all seem to just care about themeselves.
