- pgeorgi 10y agoNow you only have to figure out how to make the ants not take short-cuts (eg. walk over houses)
- pavel_lishin 10y agoYou need to stop thinking inside the box, my friend. My new company Delivr will equip all of our delivery drives with stilts so they can step right over backyards, houses, etc. We're also testing out a new paramotor that will allow them to literally leap over property in their way.
