Kloumann and Isaac Backus, both undergraduate students, sit in a

mountaintop in Arecibo, Puerto Rico -- the world's largest

video game," says Kloumann. Far stranger are the objects they
are pointing the telescope toward: pulsars many light years
away. - You Can Do That on Television - When Robots Grow Up -
