I knew somebody was going to get "OMG BUT ITZ A R0BOT!" on me eventually =PRetodon8 said:The alternative is being operated on by a human directly.VincentX3 said:I would not like to be strapped under that 2million dollar machine, it looks like an accident waiting to happen
Even without accidents the fact is that humans are much more limited.
I would pick a robot over a human, like I'd pick a human over a trained monkey.
That is, if they are allowed to, and made to, practise.
After reading some other posts I realize practising with the practice robot is somehow a waste of money.
Still, I'd rather have them waste money and save lives because they've actually used the thing before.
You do realize smart people study too, don't you?Boyninja616 said:
I'm pretty sure if you're in this area of expertise, you're one of the smart ones.
Also I didn't say I wouldn't get under it, just that I don't like the appearance of it.
Well I mean in relevant news,what does this prove? That robots can play Operation. It just doesn't seem very worthy of mention. (But then again,Fox News mentions things nobody cares about too sooo...) Yeah,I guess it counts as news,but I really don't give a fuck about this,thus the picture.Numachuka said:
I do indeed realise that.Retodon8 said:
However, you seem to have taken this the wrong way. I was not suggesting all students are thick, but merely that young people will find ways to make things more fun and surreal. Their respective intelligence matters little.
I know 2 people who are at Cambridge who would probably do exactly what these students have done. I also know several people at pretty crap Universities who would do it as well.
Good to know my future doctors and all going to be overpaid children
Heart Transplant $Xxxxxx
Playing Operation w/ the same machine Priceless
Who cares Im still getting paid!
Srsly:
What in the sam hell....why I hate doctors....

I'd pay to see that. Simulators pretty much take the piss out of wargames nowadays.Evil Alpaca said:
Good use of science here people. Anyone bitching about this video needs to pull it out of there posterior.
You know what boggles MY mind? That Operation is old enough to warrant a description in a news article, and you can't just assume everyone reading it knows what or how that board game works.Tom Goldman said:
In a related note, GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN YOU KIDS! *shakes cane*
... guys... especially the ones saying it's a waste of money to use it for five minutes to try that- If it couldn't play a simple game, a game it's basically designed for, then how can you trust it to operate on YOU? I mean... how stupid can you guys be? If it couldn't do a play-operation, then it couldn't possibly handle the needs of a surgeon.
1st point: How many people died why they were playing Operation?
2nd point: This video was awesome, so retro.
3rd point: The characters name is Cavity Sam, HAH! Sounds like a drug mule.
4th point: THATS what female docters look like these days, excuse me while I throw myself down my stair case.

1) The machine is in a university lab, not a hospital.
2) The people using it are not doctors, they're students of robotic science.
3) The game tests exactly the kind of skills and problem solving the robot was meant to excel at.
I really don't see the problem. They're dicking around with an extremely expensive piece of machinery, but the machinery is in a lab. It's designed to be dicked around with because that's how you pick up problems, areas of improvement and learn how to use it. There's noone waiting outside the room for their operation while this is being filmed.

Dynamite fishing.Tom Goldman said:
The amusing thing was when someone actually DID it, rather than using just the cap. The blast was way louder than he expected, so he bolted before someone caught him (this was pre-sunrise fishing, so anyone who came to investigate would no doubt be angry about being woken up). At sunrise he returned for the fish, and found a number of rather satisfied eagles....
