Geeky but damn cool!! :biggrin: Once they get the walking thing down a bit faster I'd like to take it to the local Starbucks. :biggrin: He needs to work with Honda, maybe get some details from the Asimo robot. That thing can walk up and down stairs! :smile:

I dont know where you are going to put your coffee. The inside pics didnt show any cup holders and it looked like you need both hands to drive. Do you know if the ultimate cupholder is compatible?

How is it powered? Big batteries? Gasoline? Is it a hybrid that gets 40 walks to the gallon?
