UGA VIII.0

Hello again everyone! Today, I wanted to talk about a new technology idea that is being considered at the University of Georgia. This new idea is called UGA 8.0. The idea comes from the University of Georgia mascot, a live bulldog, that has been used for their football team since the 1950s. The last mascot, UGA VII, unexpectedly died two weeks ago during the season and this idea for UGA 8.0 comes to the university because of that. The idea is actually suggested by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The idea behind UGA 8.0 is to use an animatronic dog as the mascot to replace the live bulldog that is used by the university. This idea was suggested because of the unexpected death of UGA VII and they think that the conditions may be dangerous to the dog as a result. This is a great example of technology being used in sports by having an animatronic dog with robot motions to be used as the mascot at the University of Georgia.
