Whether anyone likes the idea of this device or not, they do have to admit that it is an engineering marvel, even sight unseen (picture doesn't show much). It flippin runs all day on five cents of electricity at a comfortable walking speed? Make larger industrail versions and use solid state electronics for steering you would have some very cheap cargo movers in airports, factories, etc.. My prediction is that there is actually going to be thousands of unattended uses for these things once the technogy is exploited. Makes a great base for robots, hee, hee...

My prediction is that there is actually going to be thousands of unattended uses for these things once the technogy is exploited.

If people would think of all the uses we make of computers these days, and try to think of the ones which were predicted in 1980, maybe they would catch on.
