The CBC’s Toronto Broadcast Centre has a robot that delivers mail. It’s a motorized cart that follows a track through the halls. It’s also equipped with sensors to keep it from running over children and small animals.

Earlier this week, the mailmobile failed to avoid a terracotta pot outside our offices. The destruction is documented on my Flickr account.

    I’m kind-of distracted by the fact that this Canada Post Maze Mobile Letter Deliverer And Plant Destroyer Robot Thingy even exists.

    It’s like it ate the mailboy and then took his job.

    The 3rd floor mailbot would never do such a thing. Ever.
