Man, some people have incredibly cool jobs. How do you get into the industry of making anthropomorphic walls and floating penguin analogues? Strange, wonderful world we live in.

Those airpenguins look almost too silvery/SFX to exist! Pretty amazing.

Adam: Yes! Exactly! My careers advisor never said to me “well, there’s an opening in design and construction of quasi-autonomous neutral-buoyancy penguin analogues with smart-mob programming and awesome 3-D navigational algorithms.” It was all “be a banker”…

Jordan: I actually had to go and check out the Festo website before I posted the link. I still don’t quite believe it. Glorious, isn’t it?
