When camping it would be so nice to fill up a water tank, put it on the A1 and have it walk the filled up tank back instead of me carrying the water.

A waste of time and energy the robot has no use. Just because science and technology is progressing it doesn’t mean everything has to be in mass production. The time and resources put in to making these robots could be used for something useful. Kids would be better of playing with lego or being creative in dreams. In a digital age wasting time and resources on things like this robot is rediculas if it has no functionality in the real world like factorys, security observations, customer services or planet and moon reconnaissance and Work forces. There’s to much rubbish being made. If the world wasn’t making “100” of the same things all over the world like cars, tv’s and phones there wouldn’t be so much rubbish and wasted time and energy. People don’t need 100’s of the same thing being made there should be a few factory’s making one product that is the best. Then there would be some time to find a use for this robot in real time. We live in a working world and we are all consumers, entertain or be entertained, live and let live. There’s no time for job’s in a working world.

As much as I like robots, this is essentially a pointless toy that the rich person who bought it would get tired of very quickly. They’d use it as a gimmick in a YouTube video or to impress some friends, then it breaks.

you said you would use this product in your words “on long hiking trips and rock climbing” when the battery last only 2.5 hrs? I can see this as a great working tool but as a play thing I have many other things I would rather do even if this product was less than $500. (no typo)
