Re: Robot traffic cones!
Has anyone been to "Yo Sushi!" in Soho (Poland St. I think)? Apparently they got robot waiters. Good old Japs. I remember when having your food brought to you via conveyor belt was modern

Why am I seeing that great scene from Toy Story 2 when all the toys cross the road under cones and cause a massive pile up?
Could we not spend the money on building better roads that wear out slower, or more ee's to do the roadworks quicker?

Still, at least if they tried to come down the M1 to London, they'd probably get stuck in Traffic...
Just imagine. Hundreds of traffic cones moving down the road yelling "Exterminate! Exterminate!"...

Re: Robot traffic cones!
They could always modify them and turn them into robot litter bins.
Put a McDonalds advert on the side and put them in the car park so they could follow customers around saying "exterminate litter, exterminate litter"
Any other uses they could be put to?
