Obama and the Cougar Cannon
President Obama recently visited Oakton High School in Washington D.C. to view their Cougar Cannon robot and speak about the importance of math and science education. He offered up a great quote saying:
“As president, I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science and engineering. And I also want to keep an eye on those robots in case they try anything.”
Awesome. It’s comforting to know that despite all of the duties and distractions of being in charge, President Obama still understands the threat that robots pose.
