On the topic of driving him on a road...VIDEO PLEASE, but that does seem slightly dangerous, and I'm sure there's probably some crazy law against it. Now I want one.
I disagree completely. If I can't touch another competition robot then why can a non competition robot touch or harass me? I don't care if many people found it enjoying, the fact of the matter is MANY not just me and Ryan and a few random people were ANNOYED and NOT amused. Many people I spoke to, however fun they thought it was agreed that there is a time and place and said it was only fun for a few moments not for minutes of in your face action. I think they should make the rules to make NO exceptions for robots harassing humans without permission.
