Hysterical! I was amazed by everything I saw and I got some great video footage I can use in New Media Projects. Thanks!

Really enjoyed it, very different, interesting.

I would give it five stars.

Impressed and thrilled. Super!

Excellent - what I would have given to be taught & seen these things growing up -- Never too late though & thank you for bringing to Ireland. Will visit Glasgow & see more of Rag-n-bone Man.

We are are from NYC and stumbled onto the show in pursuit of the usual tourist objective. What a treat! Hooray for Dublin for hosting this.

It was really cool. Very fun & inventive, re-cycling and creative. Liked it ALOT. Thanks.

I found it interesting, visual and enjoyed the opportunity to take part with the 'hands' on robots such as 'touch me, 'nervous', & 'outerspace'. Some of the technology was beyond me but didn't deter from my enjoyment of the show -- well done.

Very interesting, different.

It was amazing how they made each robot.

DEADLY!

Excellent -- very interesting & food for thought!
