Man the snake part makes it so much more complicated then it needs to be. Looks cool but a simple robot can do it.

Agreed. It's nothing out of this world. We have robots building cars and other things with more speed and precision. it's cool looking but it's also just going to add to the price tag.

I'm more than capable of connecting the charging cable myself, thank you. lol

Yep, pretty sad that one can't even plug their own charger in and if you're out on the road with that, you're doing it often enough anyway. That thing's going to be extremely expensive compared to the manual one.

You guys are missing the point. This is for people with money to burn, and want to pretend to by Tony Stark.

Oh I totally get that part. And it succeeds at that in every way possible. I am sure it could do it much faster like a real snake strike but it goes slow for safety reasons. Robots that have envelopes that occupy space with humans have to have so much safety in them

I think it might be best to have a floor mounted strip to just drive into. Way easy and not hard to implement.
