Pentagon Robot Race: no winners

The robot race sponsored by the Pentagon had no winners. How sad.

That’s too bad. I recall seeing a news story a few days ago about a high school team that was competing.

None of them wored, eh? I wonder which ones the Pentagon will now issue no-bid contracts to buy…

I don’t know, but i’d be afraid they’d use these superfast robots for evil.

That’s a shame! The company my husband works for was heavily involved with that race :sniffle:

Functional robots turn out to be very hard to create,
Data notwithstanding.

One of them was entered by Golem co–the Golem is
from Jewish mysticism, a man made of clay who
would arise and defend Jews from persecution
when the scriptures were put under his
tongue.
