It seems they say "thank you" if you help them. Other people try and steal their food. Have you ordered food from a robot. |

It would be very easy for 2 guys to stop them and steal the food with a short handled sledge hammer to break the dome. 4mph is quite fast, wait till they trip some old lady and get the crap sued out of them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

There are about 5 companies that make them. Very popular on college campuses. |

Rolling lawsuits waiting to happen. It will be the new slip and fall lawyers dream.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

A speed of 4 mph is a slow jog, but a little faster than a brisk walk. Women who are over age 60 run about 4 mph on average in a 4K. I imagine they make plenty of noise so they don't sneak up on people. I can't imagine them as particularly dangerous. |

I have no idea how heavy they are. It's hard to tell from the picture. But if they are a couple hundred pounds and they roll over your foot, that could be bad.... |

They don't have to be dangerous at all for someone to trip over one and fly in front of a moving car. Or for granny to take a header and break 3 ribs. Mark my words, they will be a new fake accident scam that ambulance chasing lawyers will love. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
