Submission + - Interview with the Inventor of Dragonfly Robot
Egadfly writes: "Sean Frawley has gone where many of us dream of going. He started inventing a robotic flying dragonfly in highschool, and today (at 22 years old!) he has refined his brainchild and taken it to market — and now works at the corporate headquarters of WowWee robots in Hong Kong, dreaming up his next creation.
How did he do it?
In this interview he describes the painstaking process of making his invention marketable — shaving plastic off the gears, finding his manufacturer, finding the right carbon fiber to make his toy both indestructable and light enough to fly.
After reading this I thought: If he can do it, why not me, and you?"
