Work in progress

Please note - this page has been created as a direct copy of material that was in the robot page. It needs a good copyedit and wikify, which I'll do once I've finished with robot Kcordina 09:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Original research

At its finest. "Because the robot TV shows are popular, the army uses robots and there's a slug-eating robot in England, it's obvious we're all terrified of them rebelling against us." WHAT??? Please come up with a source, though I doubt there is one to be found. --132.69.234.73 11:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

TV Shows

The popularity of the TV shows Robot Wars Robotica and Battlebots, of college level robot-sumo wrestling competitions, the success of "smart bombs" and UCAVs in armed conflicts, grass-eating "gastrobots" in Florida, and the creation of a slug-eating robot in England, suggest that the fear of an artificial life form doing harm, or competing with natural wild life, is not an illusion. The worldwide Green Parties in 2002 were asking for public input on extending their existing policies against such competition, as part of more general biosafety and biosecurity concerns. It appears that, like Aldous Huxley's concerns about human cloning, questions Karel Čapek raised eighty years earlier in science fiction have become real debates.

Categorization

I removed the "Other notable annual competitions" heading. It seems weird to make that distinction between the competitions. It seemed arbitrary to me.

However, if someone wanted to categorize the competitions according to school level or type of robot, i think that would help the page. ---- BAxelrod 14:09, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
