Robot Apocalypse?
As you may or may not know, Randall Munroe (that guy from xkcd) is now doing a thing where he is "answering your hypothetical questions with physics" - I think it's brilliant.

Anyway, this week, he dealt with the robot apocalypse, and FIRST even got a hyperlinked mention. Anyway, check it out: http://what-if.xkcd.com/5/

Re: Robot Apocalypse?
I love his webcomic, but my admiration of him skyrocketed when I saw he was a FIRSTer. Yay FIRST!

Pretty Epic quote:
Quote:
If all that experience has taught me anything, it’s that the robot revolution would end quickly, because the robots would all break down or get stuck against walls. Robots never, ever work right.

Almost double posted this...
I would take this as a challenge more than anything kids.

I plan on using the Yoda "What If" in physics this year!
