It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It is for now. We can revisit is ten years and see where technology is, but right now there isn't any robot that can diagnose and fix the things mechanics deal with. Mechanics of all kinds are going to be the some of the last jobs to go away due to robots.
