So cool! Check out the movies!

Now I want to work on lasers and robots!

Following links from that page, I found that Berkeley is [a minor] part of the consortium that made that nifty swimming robot! on the Berkeley page I found some advice to graduate students that might be handy. One pithy bit on choosing a thesis topic: ``Never elaborate a baroque excrescence on top of existing but shaky ideas. Go right to the foundations and test the implicit but unexamined assumptions of an important body of work, or lay the foundations for a new research thrust.''
