My Amy is designing robots for Boston Dynamics at the tender age of five. Shhh. Mum's the word on this one.

    Hey erco, don't knock it ... my new job involves designing the electronics and firmware that drive precision metallography machines (1/2 nano meter resolution) used in some highly classified applications. Your Amy might be on to something, but she isn't allowed to tell you what it is. :-)

    LIKE. Let's chat about it over a brewski if you're ever near LA! Sippy cups optional, fruit juice for Amy.

    Amy should be proud, her Dad is now using her original artwork on more than 13,500 posts!

    So much for the "Top Secret" part.

    Apparently erco is the Wikileaks of robot designs.

    Erco,

    Has she ever seen any of the cool mecha they have in anime?
    Might be inspiring.

    Good call. She hasn't seen Robot Carnival yet.
