My daughter just got back this weekend from an engineeering competition at GMU.

She said they had robots delivering food and drinks on campus. I called bullshit.

I stand corrected...

What will be the penalty when drunk college kids kick over the Roomba and still it contents?

It's gonna happen. You know it's gonna happen.

It would make for a handy little toilet if it had a seat under that lid. Big Grin

How does it open doors or climb stairs? Confirm the persons ID who placed an order?


If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion.

There’s a startup running those on and near campus in Berkeley. Too far from home to be useful. I looked them up the first time I saw the robot. I jumped in front of one to test the crash avoidance feature and it worked. One caught on fire a few weeks back. Never heard what caused it. Cool idea but I’m not sure it’s ready for prime time. There’s no way they’re making money on deliveries yet. We’ll see what happens when the VC money dries up.

Note to self, next time visiting Cali, come with MAGA and Trump 2020 stickers and attach them to the robots. Might wear Obama rubber mask when doing so.
