Re: FRC Robots Aren't Real Robots?
Look, I'm a robotics engineer who works for robotics companies. If you get more than one robotics professional in a room, they'll all disagree on the definition of robot. The CEO of iRobot thinks a vending machine is a robot. I disagree. Drones are remote controlled, AUVs aren't, both are generally considered robots. FIRST robots definitely meet many commonly agreed upon definitions of robots. Some will disagree. Good for them. In my opinion, it's not worth arguing over.
