Well Budgee follows you closely anyway, under the guise of carrying your stuff.

    A $25 dollar fold up grocery cart would probably be a better choice for most people. Although the manual mode has promise for robot sumo.

    "He likes carrying stuff for you." If so, I'm sure he'd like to ride in the passenger compartment instead of the trunk!!

    Robots get no respect!

    I don't hold much hope for it dealing with real-world exterior environments without
    help - curbs, gravel, grass. Mind you if its quieter than standard wheeled luggage
    that's great (personal bugbear of mine).
