Engineering On Friday: Superstar Robot Jockey

9 Mar 2012

Robot Jockeys replaced child riders in the United Arab Emirates camel racing circuit due to international human rights pressure.

Since then, several generations of the robotic riders have come and gone. The latest having arms used to manipulate reigns along with the riding crop.

There must be a Robot Jockey superstar in the camel racing world. Others tremble when they see him coming.

Nothing is stranger than the real world. Camel riding robots is out of right field. Good entertainement.

I just drew a regular whip.

However, some racing groups would use electrified whips and prods in camel racing. That was also recently outlawed.

It's tough to be an animal in the human world.

I still think using the pickup to pace the camel shoud not be allowed.

Is that a regular whip or one of those electrified whips?

Also, is it better to whip your camel or brick your camel?

Good post Cabe,
