Second problem: can we say Bill of Rights violation? The word robot hasn't harmed you or anyone in any way, allowing organizations to limit our speech will do a lot more.

Please read my post more carefully, i am starting to loose track of what people are saying too
.
Let me elaborate, the polite thing to do is to give people the opportunity to make their own decision. Say for example I am running late for a match, however my path is blocked by a team taking pictures. I would say, "excuse me, can I get through? I am late for my match." Then they can decide for themselves if they have priority, if they are polite, they would have determine that me and the robot could squeeze through. However there are scenarios where a team may choose not to move for me. My choice is not the scream "robot" but to say "excuse me, I am late, can you please move." Ultimately, in this scenario, we could both be rude about it but i would rather be the polite one. If I was returning to the pit, I might even wait.
The idea is to give people the opportunity to be think about it and make the right decision. Sort of how the fast lane is suppose to work, where the slower car yields to the faster car. Good luck getting rid of the "tradition" of the slow car in the fast lane. It appears we are stuck with it as a lasting symbol of americana

Back to the point of the 1st amendment, as you pointed out and i mentioned before, a ban won't work. However I object to the mandatory practice of saying "robot" that occurred at the IE regional (see sand drag 1st post). You can say whatever you want. I am just going to call you rude when you say, "robot."
