A decade in support engineering taught Anthony Salina to care about details. Building screen-accurate Star Wars costumes taught him much the same lesson, with better capes.
Blake Resnick and the Seventy-Second City
He began by building a machine that could enter a room too dangerous for a person. Now the BRINC founder wants to compress emergency response from minutes into seconds - and make judgment, not speed, the technology's hardest problem.
