Become a secret agent

Yeah, right 17 months ago

Well, as far as I know, I worked for a group that was so secret that not even its own members can prove it exists. We used telepathy and telekinesis to keep the world safe, which rested on the edge of knife. But then I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. I honestly don’t know wherein the truth rests.

Used the LEGO::NXT perl module to control it. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in an accident. We are working on developing a better one:
