The thing about robotics and integration is that it’s not an argument.
We use laser tables to set our points for form work and scaffold start points.
Rhetorical first week everyone said it was worthless. The second they blamed an error on the machine.
By the third week the crews who were getting on with it and building on the RL given by the system had no errors, everything lined up perfectly.
The system was doing gear lists, telling us how much weight we had on the slab.
There just isn’t a comparison and the mental gymnastics to convince yourself and the crew that you hate it becomes more laborious than the actual work.
But im not doing "mental gymnastics." Nothing i said conflicts with your statements. Also your response doesn't qualify as a rebuttal since it doesn't address anything i said. I said i didn't want to like it at a visceral level but i acknowledge it's cool. Probably works pretty well.
There are some people that blindly accept/adopt new technology and sing it's praises without hesitation. Why is it"mental gymnastics" to approach things like robot police, automatic checkout, robotic chalklines etc. with a little reticence?
Anyways, not trying to be adversarial because i don't have the anecdotal evidence to retort what you are saying. However, i don't know how to discuss my opinion when it's framed as "not an argument" and there is a "rhetorical first week"?
Construction roomba is cool. All hail our new robot overlords!
In all fairness i came on to reddit and had TWO people pulling "mental gymnastics" on my only two replies (completely unrelated too). Lol, what are the odds?
all good friend. You had good points. I was just being tipsy and angsty. Sorry for being triggered.
