I am so proud and happy for you. It sounds like your dreams are coming true. I was wondering.........could you make me a robot to clean my house and if not, how about just whipping up a man that won't talk back. :) Seriously, way to go and I wish the best for you.

Just watched those videos and I couldn't be more excited about what you're going to be working on! I loved that shot of the Scion's rear hatch and the shelves of exposed electronics - very sci-fi.

Perrone Robotics really does sound like it's from an Assimov novel! At least you can learn from Assimov's warnings. I propose making sure all your robots have at least *four* laws of robotics. The fourth being that if there is a conflict between any of the other three laws, the robot must ponder why there is something rather than nothing, thus throwing him into an inescapable loop of existential angst. I don't know if that'll work for robots, but it certainly keeps me from accomplishing much. :) Congratulations Trevor. This really does sound like it could be your dream job. Oh, and you should've seen Cayden's eyes when I told him that you build robots! Haha! Perrone Robotics really does sound like it’s from an Assimov novel!

Haven't had any problems with tables and figures - no long titles there. :) Thanks again!
