In a new fundraising effort, Cyber Blue is renting out old robots to lawn care companies. The 2005 Robot, shown here, is cutting grass in Florida for the summer.

Rumor has it that this machine drives through Ron Jon late a night, and has been seen partying at Cocoa Beach with 233's 2k5 robot (which could explain why we are not seeing much income).

Perhaps the 2006 bot can find dual use on a golf course.

I don't understand the purpose of having a robot working in a field like this?

What do they do?

I believe that is the point.

In the background, on the right side, you can see the robot's father.
(its mother had treads.)

What SPF is appropriate for an Indiana Blue robot in the sunshine state?

instead of the "bronze" that was popular in the 70's, we are going for move of a "silvery" tone today.

Check out Precise Path Robotics, a spinoff from the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge team (Indy Robot Racing Team) that I worked with. This is one of the latest efforts of Scott Jones, a great inventor/entrepreneur that I often refer to as Indiana's Dean Kamen.

We could team up with you Cyber Blue! We enjoyed our stay in Orlando Florida every time we went to the Nationals! Our 2001 robot "Excalibur" can be seen here cutting a clean 29.5" swath while reducing the need for fossil fuels...the team operators are usually decked out in Blue and Silver so we should be able to work anywhere the need exists!
