Robots ... Used in Camel Racing?

Three men were arrested in Dubai today for selling special "robot jockeys" as a way to fix camel races.

The ancient sport of camel racing is surprisingly lucrative in the Middle East, where successful thoroughbreds can be worth up to millions of dollars. 

The men allegedly sold modified robot jockeys that delivered electric shocks to camels to make them run faster. Interestingly enough, normal robot jockeys are common in camel racing. However, the men are accused of selling modified robot jockeys for up to 29,000 dirhams ($8,000) each. 

The offenders could face lengthy jail sentences, and the incident has spurred an investigation into the prevalence of modified robot jockeys, often called "shock jockeys."
