Re: Suggestion: Abandon the term "tele-operated"

I don't know why this term has gained so much popularity in the last year and a half, but wouldn't it be simpler (and much better understood) to just say "remote-control period"?
My theory on its popularity is because it is termed as such in the rule book, so that's what people call it.

I'm guessing that it isn't called remote-control period because of the stigma of people saying "hey, you're not making robots, you're just making big remote control cars". Saying remote-control period might reinforce that reaction.
