Re: FRC Robots Aren't Real Robots?
They are "Human Dream and Inspiration Enablement Devices" but since that takes too long to say and explain I use the word "robot".

Much as wires, nuts, bolts, switches, relays, batteries and light bulbs launched me into a life of computers and electronic engineering; I'm taking these "robots" and helping launch kids today into the future. Was what I built then a "computer"? No, not by today's standard. But I helped build today's standard.

The roboteers I work with are going to build tomorrows standard. So if you are unhappy with us using the word "robot"(*) wait a few years to see what our inspired roboteers come up with. It's pre-future time, be part of it!

(*) And if you are unhappy about me using "robot", let me break your heart over what we've done to the word "cheesecake".
