I'd like to play golf with a robot once- as long as it wasn't programmed to make sarcastic and degrading comments about my game and actively cheer against me during my shots, like my "friends" do. The robot's silence would probably be even worse than my friends' taunting and I would have a more terrible score than usual. I love golf.

Brings back memories. Unimation was the 1st robotic equipment I got involved with in the early 80's. Even went out to their Danbury, CT. facility for training.

This is a Great Post. It reminds me that way back "when" I got to work on a Unimate Robot at RIT ... #marktherobotman
