Question Roboteer or Roboto?
Okay, if a person is involved in Robotics, should they be called a Roboteer or Roboto? People on my team have spent about a month arguing this so far so I figured posting it here would settle the issue.

Feel free to suggest any other terms?

Re: Roboteer or Roboto?
Personally, I think "Roboteer" just sounds stupid.

Then again, that's just my opinion.

Re: Roboteer or Roboto?
I just clicked on a random thing, ummmmmm... hmmmmm... now you've got me thinking. Roboteer is okay, but roboticist sounds way cooler.

Re: Roboteer or Roboto?
None of the above.

I prefer the term "Bot Jock"

It's roboteer. Roboto just doesn't seem quite right.

Re: Roboteer or Roboto?
In the profession, it is "roboticist" (and has been for at least 25 years).

Re: Roboteer or Roboto?
Between the two choices I'm going to lean towards Roboteer. It's closer to what our team is comprised of, volunteers.
