Of course, "mindless screaming" of anything is neither useful nor appropriate. But a lot of shouts of "Robot!" are most certainly not that, and pointing that out is a perfectly reasonable thing to do given the title of the thread.

You have a fair point there!
So here's my question:
What does "ROBOT!" accomplish that "Pardon me, Robot coming through, Heads up!" at similar volume doesn't?
