Why are people upvoting robotics a lot recently... getting tired of web dev?

Or probably the intent is to make robots to do web development ;-)

I have zero experience with web development except for some basic html stuff and hacking around with java-script of third party websites. I am an electrical engineering undergraduate. Mastering java-script is indeed in my wish list, but it lags far behind robotics and control systems.

Robots are cool. Robotics is just slightly out of the experience of the average dev to feel interesting.

YES!
