And we get so hung up in practicalites - that we can lose sight of the value of play. Dorkbots is an opportunity to invite creative people to take their technology dreams to the very edge - and to show us how to have some fun and how to appreciate what technology can do without the pressure of having to judge each project against anything but itself. Out of that, we can contribute to keeping the excitement and the romance of <I>invention</I> alive! Good luck, Cleveland dorkbots!! --Rich Bowers </p> We spend so much time talking about the inner workings of technology - the engineering and the economics of it - that we are in danger of losing sight of what all this stuff actually DOES - how it performs, even in a theatrical sense.
