| #6 Having to deal with UPS and Fed Ex parcel trucks at Amazon I wouldn't mind this at all. You don't know how much fun it is when management says we're going 100% parcel to bring up the receivers rates!! Anyway yes I want to see a REAL parcel trailer unloaded by this thing. As was said you xhoukdn't put heavy things on top but there always is. I think the person loading the trailer does it on purpose. To many axes, sledge hammers, brake rotors have I almost been hit by while moving a box from the top of the wall/ Just wondering if they can make it shake its little head and make sad robot noises when the the door to the trailer opens. |

| #5 Identical size and weight boxes...:Pfui!: In the Real World they would have been palletized. Also in the Real World parcels come in multiple sizes and weights ...Pro-Tip: do not stack the heavy machine part box that is the size of a bread loaf on the large box of foam flowers (it will hammer its way through the other box in transit!). |

| #4 Solyndra had nice offices and a fine business plan. Dummies will buy this product, but few will get the projected return. Fewer with the tax. |

| #3 66% ??? Seriously? If you think the bureaucratic overhead will be less than 80%, I have a nice red bridge to sell you for cheap. |

| #2 Faster to reprogram and redirect a warehouse worker [or his/her replacement] than the T-2000. However, union rules may make the robot more attractive. |

| #1 Wait for it. Robot Worker Tax. A tax that will be sold as helping displaced workers. Of which 66% used for Admin staff and other political agenda projects. |
