Re: Robot Ethics?

If you look at your robot as an engineering prototype, and add up all the time and materials that went into it

then for the average team that prototype machine 'cost' around $30,000.

You better have a really good reason for destroying a $30,000 investment.

Its not a question of sentiment or ethics, its a matter of logic and responsibility. There are many things you can use an intact robot for, student science days, demos for grade schools, off season competitions, fundraising...
