vedno ustvarjalen, prišla kot žarek upanja.En: The idea of collaborating with Bojan, who was always creative, came as a ray of hope to Matej.Sl: Morda malo umetnosti v tehnologiji?En: Maybe a little art in technology?Sl: Naslednje dni sta z Bojanom preživela z delom in izboljšavami Matejevega robota.En: The next days were spent with Bojan working and improving Matej's robot.Sl: Vsaka nova ideja

audience.Sl: Matej je pomislil.En: Matej thought.Sl: Njegovi možgani so tekli sčasoma, moralo je biti hitro, moralo je biti pogumno.En: His mind was racing, it had to be quick, it had to be brave.Sl:
