In fact, when we started, although I had the experience of building things in the leg lab, both at CMU and at MIT, we weren't that sophisticated of an engineering thing compared to what Boston Dynamics is now. But it was our ambition to do that. And Sarkos was another robot company. So I always thought of us as being this much on the computing side and this much on the hardware side.

And they were like this. And then over the years, I think we achieved the same or better levels of engineering. Meanwhile, Sarkos got acquired and then they went through all kinds of changes and I don't know exactly what their current status is, but... So it took many years is part of the answer. I think you got to find people who love it.

In the early days, we paid a little less, so we only got people who were doing it because they really loved it. We also hired people who might not have professional degrees, people who were building bicycles and building kayaks. We have some people who come from that kind of the maker world, and that's really important. for the kind of work we do to have that be part of the mix.

Talk about being happy. There used to be a time when I was doing the machine shop work myself, back in those JPL and Caltech days, when if I came home smelling like the machine shop, because it's an oily place, my wife would say, oh, you had a good day today. Because you could tell that that's where I'd been.

Oh, you know, at Boston Dynamics, it put us on the map. I remember interviewing some sales guy and he was from a company and he said, well, no one's ever heard of my company, but we have products, you know, really good products. You guys, everybody knows who you are, but you don't have any products at all, which was true. So it was, and you know, we thank YouTube for that.

YouTube came, we caught the YouTube wave and it had a huge impact on our company.
