Wanna buy Spot?
Oh, yeah, I do want one of Boston Dynamics fabulous robotic canines. I’d be satisfied with only one of the two each client is limited to, so I would have to scratch up only $74,500. This link contains interior links to some of the past videos of this contraption’s amazing abilities, but as I have long assumed, Spot is better suited to use as a troubleshooter in less human-friendly environments than it is to being a human companion. However, since this very complicated and sophisticated machine has been leased to selected early adapters, Boston Dynamics has learned a lot and is now selling its creation outright.
No I need Spot? Of course, I don’t. But I would adore having a Spot to walk bedside me through a mall parking lot just to catch the reactions of onlookers!
