You Get the Last Word

Dear Artists, Writers, Innovators, and Crazy People:

In an effort to pump more information into the internet, in hopes that it bursts, Robocup Press has started a new series called The Last Word. To participate, simply answer the following questions using any medium you see fit – word, image, audio, video, etc. – that can be presented via Tumblr.

-For written submissions, please also include an image of you and/or your work.

-Audio and video submissions should be no more than 10 minutes in length.

-Submit via the “Submit” button located in the menu above.

If we do not succeed at tipping the internet to its breaking point, at least we will have fostered insightful discussion, inspired others, and generated buzz for you, your work, and this press. However, if we DO explode the internet, champagne is on me.
