He didn't say anything about wanting people to ask before looking at robots. I just want to know why using a camera would make a difference to him. It's a simple request for information.

I once saw a person fall off a stage because of a flash from a photo. And Being and theatre has made me a little touchy on the subject. I dont want anyone to get hurt, including scouts. Also getting up close and getting a better photo... Maybe I'm just afraid you will see our bad side.
