I’d be a little remiss if I didn’t mention some of my favorite Chuck Facts

Dishmaker
This could be a very cool appliance. You wouldn’t have to worry about breaking dishes and you would have as many as you need (given enough raw material). I wonder if he’s put any thought into cutlery or glasses.

This is yet another video of another amazing robot. This one can skateboard and rollerskate.
If I ever get one, I’m naming it Jerry. “Hi, my name is Brian. I’m the new kid. I like to skateboard”
