I want this to play Golf this summer !! ^^ : CaddyTrek the robotic golf caddy can follow you like a dog or a R2D2.
““It’s the golfer’s new best friend,” said Dean Torgersen, vice president of Golf Bag Place in Tyngsboro, one of four retailers in the U.S. and Canada currently selling CaddyTreks. “We’re always looking for the latest and greatest. This one just blew us away. It was like, ‘Wow, this is big.’ ” With close to 40 CaddyTreks already sold via the Internet, company officials from the product’s creator — FTR Systems Inc. of Wakefield — plan on visiting 52 private and semi-private golf courses throughout New England through the end of June to give product demonstrations and see whether golfers deem CaddyTrek above par for use when they hit the links.”

Specs :
“The CaddyTrek is water-resistant, lasts for 27 holes or 10 miles on a 2-hour charge, weighs about 40 pounds, and costs $1,600.”
