CMUcam disclaimer

FIRST Rumor Mill

While reading the CMUcam manual, our software team found an unusual disclaimer. This is the *actual * disclaimer from the official manual on IFI robotics.com. You can download it here under getting started.

“Disclaimer

one size fits all. My man the yellow darts comments not actually generated by the yellow dart.

Classic. Maybe they can’t think of a real disclaimer.

Is this a combination of every disclaimer and warning label ever? Man, that’s funny, almost too good to be true.

Apply CMUcam2 only to affected area. If condition persists, consult your physician.

If America has the best medical care in the world…then I’d hate to be a foreigner.

I noticed this a few weeks ago. I left the book open to the last page and happened to glance down and read an unusual sentence or two. I think someone had too much time on their hands…funny, seems like something I would do on a late night with little sleep and too much caffiene! :smiley:

All models over eighteen years of age.

Hate to build robots with such old parts.

This product is known to the state of California to cause birth defects.

Agreeing with Eria.

No
animals were hurt in the production of this device.

No, my rabbit got scared to death when it saw itself in the laptop while I assembled the camera.
