Not the size that I'm thinking. Can you say Air Hogs?

The amount might be debatable, but its also irrelevant.
It doesn't matter if you have $1000 or $10,000---if you spend one dollar a day your money will eventually be gone. The only question is when.

She should have her own robot to fetch that package so she don't have to get her fat butt up off the couch. When I watch this I can just imagine all the people out there who would be figuring out a way to either steal that package from the robot or figuring out a way to get it to run over their foot so they can sue.

I don't think the average person gives a hoot what happens a hundred years from now. One thing for sure though is that it won't be the old United States that I grew up in. Scary things are happening and the US isn't doing anything productive to stop it. Personally I think its too late to turn it around. The leaders of today (?) have NO backbone and all this political correctness HAS to go. It isn't helping anyone other than creating more who feel they are owed everything. A hundred years from now (50 maybe) I picture some other country or religion running the US.

Take a look at the average battery-powered forklift. Compare its range and lifting power to its size and weight. Now try scaling that down to the size of those wheeled robots. Its not possible. Computers and optical sensors and GPS might very well allow it to navigate streets and find a certain address, but something that small simply will not have the range or power to carry a significant amount of cargo.

Even Hitchbot couldn't make it in Philadelphia. These mute robots wouldn't stand a chance.

Either the thugs would steal them or the rednecks would use them for target practice.

It (the 400) can climb stairs, navigate on snow, and carry 300 lbs up a ramp.
Driver loads the robot in truck and sends it down the driveways.
This needs to be addressed in the next contract.

I've no doubt they will be built by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. A bunch of mindless jerks who will be the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes.

It's also a federal offense.
