Gotta show that one to my son. He was in the Lego robotics, and now in the next one up in high school.

It's a Jesuit HS, so they are big into the "social justice" jazz, which is fine, you gotta learn that stuff etc etc. So I tell him there is a great future in robotics, and one of the reasons is the "social justice" push for a higher minimum wage. Every time the minimum wage goes up, robots make more sense for more applications.....

Nothing like a little cognitive dissonance in your education....

Love that idea!

Robotics from an early time, say the early '90's have been an up and coming industry and specialty, the auto industry has overwhelmingly embraced them. In a lot of ways they eliminate employee related problems of productivity, consistent quality, attendance, attitude etc etc etc.

Of course the down side is you won't sell one darned product to those robots!

Pretty amazing video-------they're come a long way!

Don't even need a garage, I've built a couple drones myself on the kitchen table.
