Hey guys, this is Buzz of DaVinci Robotics. I mentor several teams as well as being the announcer of the Southeast Regionals at the University of Central Florida. You may also recognize me as one of the hosts of the television show Robot Rivals (I’m the bald technical expert).
Anyway, I know that we are all busy designing and building our bots for this year’s competition but I would respectfully ask each of you to take just a couple of minutes to fill out a survey of robotics in popular culture and its pervasiveness in modern society. I am doing the survey in conjunction with Phi Theta Kappa, Valencia East, and the University of Central Florida for the Freeman Science Project.
i only have two things to mention about the survey: when you speak of robots or robotics, it would offer some clarity to reword somethings if you mean robots with artificial intelligence or just a robot programmed to do something by a human. theres a difference and toward the end of the survey i wasnt quite sure what some of the questions were referring to. secondly, i noticed that you didnt ask for gender. thats a little peculiar since many people seem to be interested in how many women are interested in robotics or scientific and technological things… -shrugs- just my two cents.
I can honestly say that i was really thinking about a few of those. There were a few things I hadnt thought about before. cant wait to see the results.
