Re: Manipulators: Claws are old news!

The main problem I have with this article is the following:

Quote:
They were developed through a project called OCTOR (sOft robotiC manipulaTORs)
So we can just pick any letter we want to make acronyms now? Why even make it an acronym at all? Why not call the robot "Octor" and the project "Soft Robotic Manipulators"?

Actually, now that I think of it, this could be kinda cool. My personal mission statement, "Not every project needs an acronym," previously abbreviated as the lackluster "NEPNAA" could instead be "nOt everY PrOject needs an acronYm" or "OY PONY!"
