Just

Just created this article. There are a ton of great photos of robotic jockeys available online, but none are apparently copyleft and I am reticent to go fair use in this case, so anyone with any copyleft pictures of robot jockeys would be incredibly helpful. Additionally, most of the online resources I found while researching this article were a couple of years old. I found little about the adoption of robot jockeys outside of Qatar, and almost nothing about the current prevalence of robot jockeys throughout camel racing in the Arabian peninsula in comparison to traditional child labor or adult jockeys. Any sourced additions along those lines would be awesome as well. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 15:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adult jockeys

An explanation of why adult human jockeys are not an option would be helpful.Bill (talk) 23:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
