Re: Getting attached to your robot

Yes, I must say I really like the Housywhat'sit, our hanging robot. I'd hate to take it apart...

Not only did I get to help build it but one of our team members still has the PVC prototype in her closet.

I grow more attached to our robots that played the game well.

Also I can't help my excitement when adult and little kids stare with awe and fear at the machine and I feel completely comfortable walking up to it and flipping the power switch. If I hadn't helped to build it I would be one of those intruiged onlookers just wishing I knew what those teenagers were up to.

So yes, I'm sentimental about out robots, but I think my feelings have more to do with me not being afraid of them rather than any particular attachment. We tend to fear what we do not know.
