As a sports fan, I really hope that robots are not the future of sports. The thing that makes sports so intriguing is the human aspects within them. A robot will not let its emotion take over in crunch time and perform at any higher or lower level. It is also hard to root for a player who you can not identify with on an emotional level. I think that robot competitions like the one RMHS recently hosted are very interesting, but there are still human faces behind the robots that I know personally. A robot olympics would not be something that could interest me after the novelty of the incredible technologies on display wears off.

Robot Games
An article on USA Today titled Are robots the future of the Olympics? Talks about plans started by the Government of Dubai announced last month to host the first "World Future Sports Games" in December of 2017. The event would feature sports games between robots. The events include ping pong, running, driverless car racing, drone racing, robot soccer, and even swimming.
