    Most people underestimate the number of steps needed to reach their goal, but overestimate their difficulty. If life was a video game, there would be few bosses, but many levels

    In general with robot demo videos like this: * Sensors are much harder & less sexy than actuators. If the video is all "movers" and no "lookers" it's nonsense. * Look for cuts. Unless you see a full activity cycle, every camera cut is a place human intervention was needed.
