Working with Singularity University, I participated in creating graphics for the first season of Ask an Export, a series answering real questions from the twitterverse by experts in their relative fields. This post will feature some of the hard work that went on behind the scenes of the ROBOTS episode featuring Mr. Robert Nail.
