As often as the contests get hashed on this list, yes, I'm
certain every possible issue has been discussed in some phase,
angle or attitude. Ever read Eclesiasties, "there is nothing new
under the sun".
But I think the point is to say them over and over isn't it?
Every year, more or less, same hash?
I really did try to make some new points. But who knows? There's
such a backlog of previous material and thought. Who can keep up
with it all?

I think the point about crowd control very much applies. If you
ran a radio controlled car up and down the halls, where it could
trip someone, I'm sure you'd have security come pay you a visit.
I'm sure kids try this all the time. I would suspect that's what
the security guard was prepared for, and thought he saw, with
dpa. Not a well mannered robot, but an RC car with an crazed
driver about to kick it up to 30mph. I'm sure injury laywers
probably were already there, having monitored the security
guard's channel when they made the call, watching jBot with a
video recorder in one hand, and passing out cards with the
other.
On the other hand, if you carry robots in, and then set them
into a crowd control limited area...that's a whole different
thing. Perceived as attractive, interesting and safe. Something
they would encourage.
