I've pictured the red ball having a squidward personality and the blue ball having a spongebob personality, with red always wanting to get away from blue's ramblings when i was little.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

The engineering behind this is simply amazing. If anyone thinks this is a waste of time, you're simply clueless. This is great practice and use of imagination in working toward solving real world problems. I assume that you think studying topics in high school which the majority of grads will NEVER use is useful.

[@Leto_0]

I've used every bit of what I learned in high school. Understanding chemistry and physics is useful in everyday life, as is history, literature, biology, psychology, etc.

[@kummer45]

Akiyuki is an institution on this field. This alone is a strict theoretical class about mechanisms. The engineering behind this requires 20 years of experience or even more. This is a man at the top of his career that makes serious contributions to real fabrics while he invest time putting his brain to a test building these toys. This is strict science.
