Please add all your questions to the comments section below.
Dear Grant, I was wondering if you ever fear that your time on Mythbusters might over shadow any of your past or future achievements, or do you see the show as another opportunity to display your craft?
I have an additional question:
As one of the official opperators of R2-D2, do you
1: know if you’ll be involved in the forthcoming episode 7, or is that not your realm of work anymore?
-AND-
2 Did you want the R2-D2 plush that was given away yesterday on Desert Bus?
