[Dprglist] self-driving ...

[paradug]

Really cool and well thought out features. Not so sure about the omni wheels, in my experience they have very limited traction and can only handle pretty idea surfaces. Ditto, on the little tiny ball casters. Also, I suspect you would have trouble running in robot mode in a DFW terminal corridor because of the people/cart traffic. it could end up as an expensive USB charger.

But, there is the girl.

  TSA should really love this, they used to only be worried about unattended bags just sitting still.  :)
