Police Robot Approved by Huntington Police Department

I am happy to report that our police robot team was very successful in tonight’s proposal meeting in seeking approval of the police robot. There are a couple of bells and whistles that was asked for.

1. The ability to raise and lower the torso about 24-36 inches.
2. The ability to turn the torso 90 degrees and back to straight again.

These are easy design modifications that will be simple to incorporate. Our marketing anchor Gracie will next be busy with writing up a proposal grant for the police robot funding. This is all great news for the team.

See attached police robot concept.

Please welcome me in congratulating the members of the police robot team for a successful approval.
