When the Bristlebots were released back in 2007 by Evil mad scientist Laboratories, all of us believed they were quite cool. obviously somebody at Klutz did too. They have released a book, with the title “Invasion of the BristleBots”. The bots seem to be similar as well as the name is identical. There is no mention of Evil mad scientist Laboratories anywhere in it. [Phillip Torrone] has attempted to get in touch with Klutz as well as the book publisher Scholastic directly to discover out more information.
[Windell] as well as [Lenore] from EMSL had this to say:
“This is the very first that I’ve heard of it. Frankly, I am a bit offended. Klutz makes some nice things, as well as I’m surprised that they wouldn’t have contacted us, asked permission, or at least provided us credit. (Locomotion by ratcheting bristles isn’t remotely new — it occurs in nature — however the name ‘Bristlebot’ is surely ours, as well as I don’t understand of any type of prior application with a toothbrush.)”
You most likely understand EMSL from their other jobs such as the Peggy as well as Meggy jr. exactly how would you feel if a job you did was published without credit? would you care or not?
