Robots at Ludicrous Speed

What has the world come to? A robot that could actually be useful at something. What, I don't know. I haven't seen any videos of it carrying anything, like a box from Amazon.

    I didn't notice until recently, but I miss the buzzing of their gas powered bots!

    I could see that carrying a few extra large supreme pizza's, strap a twelve pack on it's back, and it's good to go. How far it gets will depend on the neighborhood.
    I wouldn't feel obliged to tip, or say thank you. Is that considered being insensitive or mistreatment?

    Very impressive. OK, I would be hard pressed to do that with a BS2. Might take a few. Love the skid at 1:18 when at least one wheel locks up sliding down the snowy hill.
