Seams to me there needs to be a battery back up.
First off, this is still early in it's stage so a lot of that is being worked out. And just like the sidecar isn't covered, maybe they did it just for show. Patience, people. Patience.

Secondly, dude, double post. Plz baleet won, kthnxbai.

Did they say anything about speeding it up a bit, because I know our programmer will go nuts trying to compile last-minute code. Especially if we're working with complex robot code, I don't want to wait an hour to see if it works.

Also, I love xkcd. That one didn't make sense to me either.
