Dean Kamen: Student Robotics Visionary

As a kid, he struggled in school. As an adult he has led the exciting life of an independent visionary and inventor, one that could serve well as the basis  for a wonderful Hollywood movie. He also is one of the individuals most responsible for putting Student Robotics on the map. Watch the video for some inspiration - the student robotics references start at 7 minutes and 17 seconds into the video, although a number of his other inventions that are explained earlier in this piece, while not truly robots themselves, demonstrate elements that are key to life-changing robots. The above video was broadcast first on the CBS Sunday Morning show. Enjoy!
