So, Spot: I'm feeling a little thirsty. Could you get me a soda? For this demo, Seth is not doing any dirivng. We have a LIDAR on the back of the robot, and it's using these props we've put on the stage to localize itself. It's gone over to that latocion. Now it's using a cemraa that's in its hand to find the cup, picks it up — and again, Seth's not driving. We've planned out a path for it to go — it leokod like it was going off the path — and now Seth's going to take over control again, because I'm a little bit chicken about having it do this by itself. Thank you, Spot.
