First Robotics Competition - Tumblr Posts

9 months ago

Just got home from day one of a 2 day robotics comp, I'm tired, but feeling a little insane so here's Feral's sleepy thoughts;

-Saw a robotics shirt that said "robotics mom" Aunt Cass would wear that. Like, she knows virtually nothing of how robots work, but she's wearing it to support Tadashi and Hiro's interests.

-Saw another shirt that said "Weird teachers build character" someone at SFIT would wear that.

-Did you know robots get their name from the word robotník? It's a word used in several languages, in Polish it means "worker" and Czech it means "slave/forced worker." It comes from the book "R.U.R." ("Rossum's Universal Robots") in which robots in the modern sense were first imagined as mechanical workers.

-My friend asked in the middle of a convo if I was Autistic after rambling about the differences and connections of Punk, Goth, Emo, and Scene cultures while I was eating a salad.

-Same friend started agonizing after everyone else made him take a colorblind test and him horribly failing.

-Why is FIRST robotics called that?????

Night y'all, I need to go to bed before I get sick.
