Robot Wednesday - My robot is better than your robot

In scenes reminiscent of the Brass Eye episode where celebrities encouraged you not to take cake, FIRST Robotics have asked several seriously famous musicians from the US (and Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber) to make a video describing how much they think science is amazing, and how important it is for people to sciencify and do experimentals. It's pretty funny to watch, and we can only hope that at least some people watching it will be able to stop laughing for long enough to take in the very important message that STREM (science, technology, robotics, engineering and math, which is apparently now the thing) is important, because without it dorks wouldn't have made iPhones. The FIRST Robotics robot making competition, shown for a brief clip in the middle of the video, does look fun though, and information about it can be found here.
