How many people in this thread have explicitly objected to only that the word used was "robot", with absolutely no consideration for any other factors?

As I mentioned, you don't get 16 pages of debate over word choice (possible exception for the absurd rants I've seen about "graciously accept," I guess, but down those paths madness lies). Would a group of inattentive FIRST students pushing their robot down the aisle shouting "EXCUSE ME!" at the top of their lungs while expecting everyone else to magically leap out of the way be any substantively different?
