This is a warning sticker I found on a computer-operated robot that is in Jensen Beach High School's engineering room. I found it pretty hilarious at the time...

I think I need a poster of that to have in the pits.

hahaha. I definitely find this to be quite humorous as well.
And I kind of feel myself wanting a sticker like that to put in my dorm room...

Now is that guy thrashing in pain, or leaping in joy?
(I pick the latter: The code finally compiled!)

but the robot actually looks like the one in the picture...even with the pinching jaws..but it doesnt really hurt..one of the SPAM members was stupid enough to actually put his finger there...haha
i personally like to put the end of a yard stick in its jaws, then spin the pinchers so it whips around and scares people as they walk by..

Boy, would I love to have a sticker like this.
I talked (and still do) about watching out for/being aware of the arm on the '07 robot.
This sticker makes me smile. It's awesome.

HAHA, I wish I had that to put on our shop area. It really reaminded me of this image for some reason. http://jaywalking.us/media/2007/Augu...es/zkfq003.jpg

Is that the only warning you get for this?

i've seen another one like that...but a little smaller.
and the robot that the sticker was on is like that..just alot smaller..maybe only 2 or 3 feet high.
and instead of a chair, they put a samurai sword in its arm, and controlled it with a wii remote..
haha

That reminds me of the "Warning! Trespassers Will be Used for Science Experiments" sign I once saw...

Stateside, I believe the only place you can ride them is at LEGOLand in Carlsbad, CA -- but there may be another, smaller installation somewhere else.

I think this picture would make the best team shirt ever! Much better than our rolling, flaming balls of '06, or our burnt cheese doodle.

I read "Burnt Cheese Doodle" as "Burnt Cheese Diode".
I have a new T-Shirt design idea...

A cheese dongle? mmmm, 100% Wisconsin autonomous.

THAT IS SO NOT SAFE!!!!!!!
You realize when you 'ride' a robot, your putting your life in the hands of a servo loop which depends on just ONE encoder to give feedback about the motor's position. The loss of an encoder, with today's high high update rates (some high as 20KHz (standard yaskawa servo modulation frequency)) integrator windup happens in the blink of an eye.
So... that effortless power that lifts you up in the air and makes you giggle... could also just as easily slam you into the ground at ~50mph. I may stick my head in a CNC machine... but thats as far as i'm willing to trust a servo. Heck, 'fly by wire' steering still has a mechanical override... automakers know servos are too risky for something like steering. Its just that people who make these robotic coasters havent put the 'what if it hits a bus of nuns' test to their robot coasters like the automakers have.
Sorry to be all uptight... but i've seen an Adept 4 axis arm lose an encoder at work... JT1 (the main joint) spun around 2 times in about .5 seconds. If anyone would have been in the cell they would have been dead (not just dead, like DEAD)... and that was just with people in the vicinity of the robot, let alone RIDING it. I know its tempting... servos are so good anymore it makes the motion seem so serene and controlled, but remember, in free range, theyre just motors.
PLEASE don't do this... ok i'll get off my soap box now.

Re: pic: Robot Attack!
I've ridden our team's bot... As a demonstration of it's power. I'm easily the heaviest person on our team and while standing on the 'bot, and it accelerated just like usual.
But then agian, that was more me putting my safety in the hands of our drivers and not a program (well, a program too, but you know what I mean)

Well ok, just being a safety concerned person. I can't make you not do it, but if you do... I told you so!
