The BBC's Paul Merton recorded a great segment with Mr Woo, a rural Chinese farmer who taught himself to build fun kinetic robots. Woo's totally untrained, but his little electric bots are extremely sophisticated and often hilarious.

(Thanks Ivan!)
Update: Andy sez, "That Mr Woo clip was taken not from the BBC but from the TV station 'Five' -- although Merton is best known for his work on the BBC."
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
