The pressure's on now, Nerd Herd! Following all the press the talented troupe of teens got regarding the monetary deficiency keeping them from taking their rightful place at the Robotic World Festival in Atlanta next month, the donations have been piling up. Most notably, the giant $5K check presented to the little robotic engineers on Good Day New York this morning. The signature on it was that of British vacuum cleaner exec James Dyson, who told the Daily News, "These kids represent the future of engineering. They've demonstrated the essential traits: an inventive spirit and a healthy dose of perseverance." On top of that big chunk of change, reportedly over 40 people made donations by calling the school yesterday. The principal of their Sheepshead Bay school said, "Kids actually think being a nerd is cool now."

Awesome! Good for them. I love that Dyson dude.
I love this story. Also, I love this Dyson Toilet spoof commercial from SNL.
He's not just an exec. Dyson's a vacuum cleaner mogul! Although I think the kids should have been sponsored by the guys who make the Roomba.

Right, Mr. Principal. Your school is chock-full of girls dropping their panties for the nerds while ignoring the athletes. Time for a reality check, perhaps?
So sweet! Go nerds go!
Dyson makes darn good vacuums.
Dyson should have made them each submit a grant proposal first.
Where's the black kid? That's racist!
Better suction saves the day!
