I was wondering if Grant was an actual technician, or just a Mythbusters personality. Turns out:
> Grant Imahara is an Industrial Light & Magic modeler and animatronics technician who controlled R2-D2’s movements in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
There’s other things about him like how he was a film technician for many years before Mythbusters, and how he personally remodelled the R2-D2 droids for Star Wars Episodes 1-3. Neat.
There is more labor involved than I expected. Somehow it seems like when I’m paying pennies for a component there wouldn’t be someone sitting there counting them out for me.
I live over 5000 miles away from their warehouse, on a different continent, yet I receive most orders within 48 hours from clicking a button on their site, no matter what parts I choose, usually shipped free. I find that amazing.

Grant pronounces the name of the company MOUSE-err but does El Presidente ever say it in this video?
Half the people I know, pronounce it MOO-zer instead. Would like to know which way the head man says the company name.
He’s doing many factory promotion tours lately. I wonder why.
Pretty cool. They always treated me right as an EE student.

I’m tempted to buy a single 1/4W resistor, just for the satisfaction of knowing I sent it moving through all that conveyor machinery.

I wish they charged less for shipping when only buying one tiny part.
Cool, I was looking for an excuse to buy new speakers
Funny that this gets upvoted yet that guys PCBWay review gets trashed for being an ad.

Woulda been cool if they showed who Matt Bell is and why he’s the guy that’s always on my address label!
