#3Reminds me about this dedicated builder: http://jamius.com/
He builds pretty amazing stuff like indoor trampoline [0] and a robotic spider [1]. Due to his increasing popularity and requests to learn from him, he created the adventure builders club: http://jamius.com/abc/abc.html
Some more about him in this thread that propelled him to fame on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/e5qgr/so_this_guy_li...

I love the small print at the bottom: Text copyright (c) 2004 Scott Nesin. Drawings copyright (c) 2004 Guy Nesin, used with permission. You just know he did actually ask his 4-year-old son for permission to use his drawings on the web.
What's this kid building @ 11? That's what I wanna know.

#8Awesome story, and a great lesson to all out there (current parents or otherwise)–kids know a lot more than many initially think.
Like this guy letting his kid run the show in the store, my parents gave me freedom with computers (old Macs that some schools were throwing out) when I was growing up, knowing that they could fix whatever it is I might happen to break, and that's given me the confidence throughout my childhood and up to the present day to always experiment and try new project ideas, knowing that mistakes can be fixed.
Given his parent's awesomeness, I'm sure Guy has seen similar benefits with having had the freedom to make project choices typically restricted to adults.
