When I was 17 years old I thought I wanted to be a robotics engineer, only because my little wanna be sci-fi writer brain could see a bright future in that field. My mom and I went to Carnegie-Mellon to visit the school, which was the best place for robotics, and I had a long talk with a professor there.

I did not become a robotics engineer, but anyway I remember this particular moment when he said something like, I just can't figure out why it's so hard to make robots that can walk?

He stared off into the distance as he said it, a puzzle that really haunted him.

It's been about 25 years since that day, now that I do the math. Now.
