CNN's John Sutter sits down with the creator of "Robot Wars" to talk about his passion for building robots. The first robot he built was an Arduino board, which is a kind of computer-like device. He says that learning how to use it has helped him become more confident in working on other robotic projects.
YouTube's Sh*tty Robots machine-maker, very funny human being, professional tinkerer and potential astronaut Simone Giertz hops in Alie's car to hang out in a sketchy Hollywood alley and chat. Topics covered: the definition of a robot, artificial intelligence, the gateway to her thirst for engineering power, plastic animals, and topless grandmas.
