Robot driving around my parking lot.
« on: June 03, 2015, 10:27:44 AM »
Some things you can't make up lol. I pull into my parking lot behind the main building and find a robot driving a side-by-side in figure-8's in front of my garage doors. It can also walk on its own two legs. Wonder if they can program it to pull shirts off the press for me, or better yet, stack at the end of the dryer!
