Would the Robo-Police pull you over and give you a "ticket" for a broken tail lamp?

You know, this would have been the perfect year to bring back a placebo bot - dress him up as a pace car or cop car, let the little bugger drive around, mount a megaphone on the thing to let the head ref shout out penalties at the racers; put a wireless camera on it to give the types of angles you get from a NASCAR broadcast.

Anyone going to put "dash cams" on their robots this year? Think of the cool views that would yield. I believe they're still allowed with event staff permission. We had a 2.4 GHz wireless robot feed displayed up on the big board at several events in 2004.

Gonna write me up a warrant 25
Post my face wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive 55! Oh No!
Uh!
