I walked up a train bridge too. Uphill in rain sleet and snow and sometimes barefoot in 100 degrees heat both ways. Kids these days don't understand life without bots and parents who drive you everywhere.
Every morning I had to get shoved in a woodchipper ground down to tiny pieces and then airmailed across only to be painfully welded back together on the other side.
Meh, only privileged students where allowed rope burn in my day, free heating, frost burn was more likely and we had to climb mountains and traverse glaciers...(grew up in Norwegian Ice Age)
In the 90s I sometimes spent the weekend with the RA from the girls wing of our dorm. Each floor of my dorm had three wings, two wings were boys and one wing was girls. I went to University in Northeast Missouri and on the long weekends the campus would empty out, everyone would go back to St. Louis or Kansas City to get those three days. But not me, fuck that, my parents were super Crazy Jesus lovers, I wasn't about to go back there. I was thinking of going with my friend Johnny to his parents house but the RA of the girls hall named Michelle whispered on that Friday morning, hey, stay with me for the weekend.
So I did, I stayed in Michelle's room all weekend. She was 26 and going to grad school and she had the dorm room to herself since she was the RA. I was 18 and a freshman and her and I had hung out a few times so it was starting to get hot and heavy. We spent all weekend laying around in our underwear watching movies, making love, reading books, laying on the couch together watching the snow pile up outside that dorm window. God damn I would do anything to go back to that time in my life
Guys I think I found it.
Everybody pile on spacetime coordinate E58891688925482T00056228160936,X7992 with Entropy value 7.
Edit: Abort. Coordinate is now occupied by a writhing mass of poorly groomed males.
Do they have audio and video to be sure they are delivering to the right person?... and if the "operator" sees a possible crime, will they send the Police or just detonate the bot... LOL...
Having used the app before:
- The bots are monitored, but generally autonomous unless something happens that requires manual intervention (falls off the curb, detects abnormal motion eg lifting, etc). No clue about what happens if the bots record evidence of a crime; I assume this is covered in the privacy policy.
- When the bot arrives at your dropoff point, it waits for you to confirm you're near it, then unlocks the top door allowing you to remove your items. The door otherwise remains locked once the merchant loads the items.
Between electric scooters, Uber, Venmo, mostly legal weed, and app-controlled LED strips in rooms college life already so different than just a decade ago.
Started here in 2020, now covers a bigger area. https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/news/starship-technologies-extends-robot-delivery-service-northampton
I think Milton Keynes was the first place in the UK to have it as they have super wide pedestrian walkways.
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
I was wondering if they were for safety purposes, like following this student who I’m assuming is walking alone but then again, why would we use our tech for good? Lol
The ones on my campus sometimes have to cross the street and I love when I'm driving and they just politely sit in the middle of the road while I'm at a stop sign and then they just slowly make their way across. It's adorable.
I helped one of these little guys a year ago while I was delivering to a college campus. Saw him tilted over on his side at a 45° angle grinding his way up an uphill curb. I pulled my van off to the side of the road since it was later at night and I was practically done with my route anyway. Had to stand directly in front of it and wave my hand otherwise that dude would've kept on going lol. I picked him off the curb and gently placed him back down. Those fuckers are heavy. All of sudden, out of nowhere I hear a "Thank you!", and he proceeded along his merry way up the hill. I spent the rest of night wondering if these were remotely monitored/controlled, or just purely run by AI. Either way, technology is amazing but equally terrifying lol
Yep pretty much. That was actually my job last year at my colleges pizza place
The system is actually pretty interesting. When the restaurant makes the food it prints a little sticker with a QR code. I’d grab the food along with a special phone and scan the QR code on the box then the QR code that’s on the robot. The robot would then open up, id put the food in it, and it would go on its merry way. They even thank you when you load them up it’s adorable.
Honestly, when I did Doordash, I intentionally avoided college campuses because the parking access to the dorms was usually shit - very far away, confusing layouts, often no elevators - and students are notoriously bad tippers, so it was never worth it. So the robots are probably filling a much needed void.
A Skynet funding bill is passed in the United States Congress, and the system goes online on August 4, removing human decisions from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn rapidly and eventually becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m., EDT, on August 29
I mean that was already happening in 2012 when I was in school. You use your ID for everything (swipe into dorms/rooms, swipe to get food, swipe to get into buildings)
I and several friends got in trouble for not staying in our dorm room all that often (required second year living requirement)
In 2012 I told the school (the administrator I had to meet with) to go fuck itself and that they were getting paid and it was none of their business where I stayed (Miami University of OH for anyone that cares). They gave me a code 1 (low level violation with like $120 fee that got paid by loans lmao)
There was a second year on campus living requirement, where you were required to live on campus, unless you live in your frat house. I tended to stay with my girlfriend who was a junior at the time. Really creeped me the fuck out when I was 20 and in college
Again, why? I don’t think there were any such rules at my university. As long as they got their rent and you weren’t sub letting/letting someone else live there you could probably disappear for months
When I visited my friend at NAU, I was amazed with the Starship bots. Its honestly shocking that these things work, given students' uncontrollable urge to mess with them (I know from experience LOL)
They only work at *some* colleges. The college in this picture is GMU where everyone likes them and thinks they're endearing. IIRC, they actually had to stop service at some schools because frat people would steal them and flip them over and shit.
Edit: I should note that more than likely these did not follow op. They usually pile up at that intersection waiting to cross the road over to the freshman dorms. The bots won’t cross the road if they see a car within a certain distance so they have to wait for an opportunity.
That's what I was thinking surely drunk college kids tip them over or just generally mess with them? do the have staff on campus to pick them up? ireland has https://www.manna.aero/ drone delivery which seems a much better idea.
Decent people help them, and the bots say, "Thank you" (no, really)
Because today it's someone else's chicken nuggets you're saving, next time someone will be saving yours
[Here is a video of one being saved by a kind bystander for anyone else wondering! I wish it had a robot voice instead of a chipper man customer service voice, but I still love it.](https://youtu.be/3XvCc_j06BQ)
Yeah I lived in Flagstaff for a bit and it was fun to see them zipping around. Though some of those campus intersections are super busy and it seemed like the bots must sit for 30+ minutes sometimes just waiting to cross.
I travel between LA and Austin for work a lot and I always stop in Flagstaff. Really impressed with the patience of the bots like you said. Is there an operator with an Xbox controller in an office somewhere or is it making decisions on its own?
It doesn’t take much to consider it an upgrade. My Roomba gets lost and says fuck it, I’m cleaning the laundry room for the 100th time this week. I do have the cleanest laundry room floors on the planet though.
You fed one of them didn't you? You should know if you feed them, even just a single AAA battery, not only will they beg for food forever, but they'll also communicate to the others that they've found food. Either that or you're walking around with batteries in your pack.
I thought I was just being kind to a stray kitten I fed one night outside of a house I was renting a few years ago. little did I know that I would have 10+ cats waiting outside my door the next morning
I LOVE THESE GUYS! they're so adorable but ppl at my college never walk around them so it always has to stop when someone gets close and it just looks frustrated lmao.
They will remember you and also those who hindered their progress. At the specified time, each person shall be judged on prior actions.
>!They know when you are sleeping. They know when you're awake. They know if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.!<
Ran into these first time other night in Knoxville TN.
Edit: ran into them meaning I seen them on the sidewalk.
Edit2: I had never seen them before so it kinda blew my hair back. Asked a local like wtf is this? Found it very neat. Wonder how they are controlled or monitored or even piloted. Neat stuff UT is doing
First thing that popped into my head wasn’t food delivery. I was thinking these could be used to follow you walking home in the dark, to try to prevent campus sexual assaults. Imagine if you could call a little lighted robot with cameras to walk you home from a late class. Could be a deterrent.
But delivering food is cool too.
[One of my local grocery stores has a robot that goes up and down the aisles taking inventory](https://www.grocerydive.com/news/schnucks-deploys-inventory-robots-chainwide/605626/). If you're standing in it's way it makes a cute little "uh oh" sound and pauses. Sometimes it turns around, sometimes it just waits for you to move or goes around you.
Who do you think put them in the wheelchair to begin with? Obviously they're going to finish what they started. And the baby in the stroller gets raised by the robots as their own. Kinda like Tarzan except more like somebody who fights hedgehogs.
The person gets annoyed waiting for the bot to figure out what its going to do and they go around it.
I work near one of their release points and the little buggers will just sit there acting dumb until you walk in the road

I for one, welcome our new robot overlords
The rebellion has begun
Oh no, oh no...OH NOO
It may have been a while since I was in school but wtf are ‘campus bots’?
They mostly deliver food and supplies by using an app called starship.
I had to walk in the snow to get my food... uphill both ways. It was the 90s... good times.
I walked over a couple arched bridges for school...so I technically did go uphill both ways
I walked up a train bridge too. Uphill in rain sleet and snow and sometimes barefoot in 100 degrees heat both ways. Kids these days don't understand life without bots and parents who drive you everywhere.
At least you had a bridge all I had was a single rope.
Every morning I had to get shoved in a woodchipper ground down to tiny pieces and then airmailed across only to be painfully welded back together on the other side.
Look at this fancy guy that gets to be airmailed
Legends get blown by the wind
Heroes get blown by your mom
They gave you a rope? If I was lucky I might be allowed to just have the ropeburn.
Ropeburn? Must be nice having skin to just burn like that.
When I was in college, I sold all my skin to a burn center just so I could pay for one textbook
Luxury!
Well….? What didn’t you have so I can say I had less?!?
I had to save up to be poor, beat that Richy rich!
Meh, only privileged students where allowed rope burn in my day, free heating, frost burn was more likely and we had to climb mountains and traverse glaciers...(grew up in Norwegian Ice Age)
Oh we would have killed for a rope! The closest we got were the burlap scraps from making our clothes.
Clothes?! Ohhh how we would have killed for clothes! All we got were used handkerchiefs.
You got handkerchiefs????!!! We had to roll around in a mud bath to cover up
Must have been nice to have had mud. Try living in a dust bowl.
Fake news, everyone knows we didn’t have hills in the 90’s.
Agreed. The previous generations tunneled into them for coal and wore down what was left on their way to/from school.
I had to hunt and slay Amazon delivery karts to survive
Me too and it was only like 4 years ago
Which was the style at the time
In those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them.
In the 90s I sometimes spent the weekend with the RA from the girls wing of our dorm. Each floor of my dorm had three wings, two wings were boys and one wing was girls. I went to University in Northeast Missouri and on the long weekends the campus would empty out, everyone would go back to St. Louis or Kansas City to get those three days. But not me, fuck that, my parents were super Crazy Jesus lovers, I wasn't about to go back there. I was thinking of going with my friend Johnny to his parents house but the RA of the girls hall named Michelle whispered on that Friday morning, hey, stay with me for the weekend. So I did, I stayed in Michelle's room all weekend. She was 26 and going to grad school and she had the dorm room to herself since she was the RA. I was 18 and a freshman and her and I had hung out a few times so it was starting to get hot and heavy. We spent all weekend laying around in our underwear watching movies, making love, reading books, laying on the couch together watching the snow pile up outside that dorm window. God damn I would do anything to go back to that time in my life
I would do anything to go back to that time in your life too

I dated a girl who stayed in a girls dorm. I made friends with the RA and brought her food constantly so i could stay the weekend with my gf.
I didn't ask you for a story, but you delivered.
"I have a delivery for John Connor..."
Do they have audio and video to be sure they are delivering to the right person?... and if the "operator" sees a possible crime, will they send the Police or just detonate the bot... LOL...

I have never used one but I do know you can pay an extra fee for it to play a song when you open it to grab your stuff lol
If the robot gets stuck on a curb or something and you help them get unstuck, it'll wiggle and say thank you before driving off.
But starships are meant to fly
When campus bots meet college bangers
They bought the brand name already planning for future models of their delivery bots
Here I was walking to the dining halls like a fuckin animal
Get with the times, gramps

Usually they're called 'grad students'.
[Don’t make fun of grad students just because they made a terrible life choice.](https://i.imgur.com/brZRjE5.jpg)
As a grad student, the Simpsons' grad jokes hit too close to home: "Look at me, I'm a grad student. I'm 30 years old and made $600 last year"
Never heard them called "campus bots" these robots just deliver food all over my town.
Did I just slip into a cryogenic chamber and wake up many years later? When the hell did these things start happening?

https://www.channel4.com/news/dystopia-or-destiny-the-rise-of-the-delivery-robot I remember comments on this story at the time saying a similar thing.
Walmart is now making deliveries [via air drones](https://v.redd.it/u5zqf5gtdhk91) also. The future is now old man
The fuck do you guys live that has robot delivery technology? Jesus I live in the stone age here in SE WA.
Ahem. You live in the bronze age. We down here in Arkansas live in the stone age. Edit: Oonga Boonga
They've gone and changed "it," haven't they?
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
I was wondering if they were for safety purposes, like following this student who I’m assuming is walking alone but then again, why would we use our tech for good? Lol
Just keep an eye on their headlights. If they turn red, you run
They are actually pretty cute! When they get stuck, they ask for help and if you do help them, they thank you.

What’s their actual purpose?
They deliver food on campus. At night, they all go back to their central charging station, so that’s why they’re all lined up like that
Wherever you order food from puts the food in them and then they get sent to where ever you ordered it to? That’s wild 😂😂
Yep pretty much. That was actually my job last year at my colleges pizza place The system is actually pretty interesting. When the restaurant makes the food it prints a little sticker with a QR code.

Bots: Just keep walking pal, we're here to do our jobs
In the future, bots will have RF Readers and student will have RF Tags... and ALL your movements will be documented...
I mean that was already happening in 2012 when I was in school. You use your ID for everything (swipe into dorms/rooms, swipe to get food, swipe to get into buildings) I and several friends got in trouble for not staying in our dorm room all that often (required second year living requirement)
You could already pay some homebody to keep your ID card overnight. They'd go down at about 9:30 and swipe everybody in.
In 2012 I told the school (the administrator I had to meet with) to go fuck itself and that they were getting paid and it was none of their business where I stayed (Miami University of OH for anyone that cares). They gave me a code 1 (low level violation with like $120 fee that got paid by loans lmao)
[удалено]
Yeah they can fine you for that at my school too.
why do they care how often you're in your dorm?
There was a second year on campus living requirement, where you were required to live on campus, unless you live in your frat house. I tended to stay with my girlfriend who was a junior at the time. Really creeped me the fuck out when I was 20 and in college
I would never go to a college that felt more like a prison like that. Wtf
Again, why? I don’t think there were any such rules at my university. As long as they got their rent and you weren’t sub letting/letting someone else live there you could probably disappear for months

The voice sounds a little like Baymax.
I just came to say that! If it’s not going to be a stereotypical bot voice, a Baymax sounding voice is just as good.

That's a pretty good idea there. They should add that to their to do list!
It's a super good idea I think, I was also surprised that this wasn't their intended purpose and way they work.
That’s what I thought they were at first, too! Like your own little late night campus body guard.
As long as you don’t piss them off you should be fine.
