When I say taking over I mean delivering your salt riddled groceries within an hour. A world first apparently!

I was watching several of these silly little sods today as I walked to the shops, and I'm sure they were all watching me.

I swear two of them were staring each other out, as they both wanted to cross the road at the same time from opposite sides.

I just need to buy one of those killer machines of Robot Wars and go hunting with it.

Why didn't you wipe them out when you had the chance? they have come back from the future to deliver something (add some suitable fantasy here), so you could have ended it all in an instance. now they are here free to roam!:wallbash:

I couldn't tell if they were carrying white wine or some ruski nerve agent, so though best not to kick them over.
 
You cpuld have just placed your index finger on its back and press down hard... then watch its little wheels spinning in vain.
 
Would that be MK?
Probably carrying a pizza or curry dinner ;)

Takeaway Food Delivery Robots in Milton Keynes & London
 
Can imagine the carnage if they roamed the streets of any inner city housing scheme.

Technology for technology sake
 
How are they not just nicked?

It's the same as Mobikes. They're not knicked because they've got GPS tracking, and are alarmed. These bots also have cameras that are being monitored by a control centre.

Also, as said in this video, bystanders sometimes help the robots out when they can see they're in a predicament.

Like Mobike, only the user booked in the app can unlock it.

They're obviously not suitable for everywhere, same with Mobike, but where it works, it works well.

This is in Britain? How are they not just nicked?

Perhaps we should merge this thread with the one about the nickin' travellers......?
 
"The delivery robots, which are made by Starship Technologies, were first deployed around London and Milton Keynes in 2016, with Just Eat reporting that they completed their 1,000th robot delivery last Christmas."

The article is dated March 2018. They were introduced in 2016, and made their 1,000th delivery last Christmas (2017). Even assuming they weren't introduced until the very end of 2016, that's one year to achieve 1000 deliveries across 2 locations - or an average of 1.4 deliveries per day per location. That's really keeping the Kamikaze delivery riders off the road!
 
I've just created a small EMP device with bits from my microwave oven. Hopefully that will kill them off.

Alternatively butter and ball bearings smattered over their routes will do the job.

:D
This is one I knocked up in the shed.. should do the job?

Can't see them working on your average sinkhole estate.
