Saw a tweet from JennB at NI saying it would be cool to have some of these little guys truckin' around the Georgia Dome. Wonder if they would do better in ATL than in NY?

Or maybe they would get integrated someone's robot ;>

Thought 1:
People helping robots... Cool. One step closer to robots and human living together in harmony like Star Wars.

Thought 2:
take that Darpa! What is the master autonomous code that can make a robot drive from one side of the park to the other 100% of the time? "If 1=1, drive forward"

Thought 3:
How far do you think one of these would get if an angry face were drawn on it?
