I just watched today's episode and was surprised that students at MIT actually use legos in their inventions, doesn't seem like a reliable building material to use...
Great show!
I think it will take a few weeks to work some of the kinks out and get our man Baratunde a bit more comfortable but that is to be expected. Hopefully it doesnt burn out like so many other shows.
Great start and keep up the good work.
