Just cause we got a little entertainment out of driving it around dosent mean u should hate on it. for every person who found it annoying i bet i could find at least 3 people who loved it. And be honest if you had built a cool little robot like that wouldnt you wanna show it off too?

Getting in peoples way when they are trying to walk and "juking" them out to stay in their way isn't cool and if I did have something like that, I certainly would know a time and place for it. I saw random people get attacked by the thing and I do mean
attacked.
This is like what Karthik was saying, its okay if you do it to PEOPLE YOU KNOW, but don't mess with others especially those who don't know you.
I got hit by the thing a few times, and when I was trying to work on the robot it wouldn't get away from me. Please play the GP card if you want- I hate that term anyways - but I was about to push the off button regardless of Chris' "keep your hands off other robots" rule due to it being a distraction and getting in the way of my IRI experience.
Also for every one person that you messed with I bet there were two others or three others who saw it and didn't appreciate it on the victim's behalf.
If Chris does decide to make the no touching robots rule, I think he should make a rule regarding getting permits for show robots and robots touching/disrupting people.
EDIT: Somebody said that they are not responsible for the actions of the others on their but but in reality they are just as guilty for not stopping their own teammates so please do not pull that "its not my fault, I didn't do it" card.
