[QUOTE="35years, post: 2165726, member: 60822"] My kid is at the world championships for high school robotics (FRC & FTC) at this very moment. He also competed last week at the guiness book of world records largest robotics competition... the Vex robotics world championships... UPS had 130 volunteers there, and was a prominent presence with their "Drone Zone". China was second only to the USA in the number of teams. My high school kid could use Computer aided design (CAD) software to design and build a robot within 6 months that could load a package car utilizing bar code scanners for sorting. The engineering challenges are not that difficult, provided each package car had uniform interior dimensions. We are not that far away from full automation inside hubs, and autonomous vehicles are already being tested. Robotics teams in the schools are experiencing exponential growth and will soon surpass every other sport as far as the number of kids participating. If UPS does not commit very soon to full automation it will be surpassed by a company that will. Detroit is the precursor. [/QUOTE]
