Growing up, I always had a fascination with robotics, maybe because I used to play Mega Man for hours as a kid. I never did anything with my interest, though; if I had, I might have ended up like Sam Kodo. Sam is a native of Togo and builds robots out of spare television parts.
What I find interesting is that he uses his old robots to make new ones; he's literally building upon what he has already done. Sam's ultimate goal is to, "make a completely independent robot, capable of interacting with his environment", and from what I've seen he is well on his way to making his dream a reality.
Here is a video of Sam being interviewed for Reuters.
