pogo(aus) 879 Report post Posted October 24, 2014 with technology breakthroughs now a daily occurrence, surely it is just a matter of time before the japs , germans, yanks or even a kiwi invents a robot jockey. with the human race getting bigger and bigger,( pygmies and midget wrestlers excluded), you know it makes sense. they could be programmed to dodge interference, be fitted with a rear view function ( ok , i know shane dye pioneered the manual rear view ) would not require a sling, would never be victim of circumstances, never be involved in jockey tapes or associate with drug dealers, and would never need to waste. you could even have remote control functions for trainers, if you were in the stand and for instance M.Robot went to take off 1000 mr out in a cox plate against G. Robot then you could press control, alt, delete and resume normal transmission. imagine , no more indisposed, stood down because of illness, no injury or heaven forbid morttalities, no fines for waving the whip before the winning post, no more azkadellia slaughters, no more excuses, and no riding fees, just a one off purchase price and the cost of the batteries if a simple aussie pickle packer like i can invent solar powered pogo sticks then surely, surely some one out there can design and market the robot jockey. it's the way of the future, sorry michelle Memphis2, Gruff and Ashoka 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
