[Dprglist] Fwd: Starship Food Delivery is Here!

[Carl Ott]

Surely Not Necessary Disclaimer for the email records:  I am not advocating
the club do anything like that physical damage to HitchBOT - hopefully we
can all agree that such actions are beyond distasteful and can never be
endorsed and should never be performed by DPRG or it's members.

Rather - it's fun to imagine safe things - from the point of view of
hobbyists who have themselves imagined and faced or overcome various
hurdles...

Carl Ott
Acting President, DPRG
