"I can't find my frob and there's cruft all over me."

OK, so Junkyard Wars is pretty cool. TLC hosted a sneak preview of one of the third season semi-final competitions, featuring the sole American team, one of which is an MIT grad. And, bonus, he spent 10 years working with Survival Research Laboratories, which blows my mind. Oh and he has cool glasses and is cute and I want one.

We got to watch the show, in which "The N.E.R.D.S." built a steam-powered car from junk and then raced it against a British team (and won). It was pretty exciting. Watching it with an MIT crowd was definitely a plus. I want to do extreme robotics...
