Burrito Bomber

•


Photo: Burrito Bomber

I have heard of these sorts of ideas for a while now, people using drones to deliver food, but now we finally get to see it in action! As you can see from the image above, a pretty rudimentary plan was put into place. Then again, this seems pretty ground breaking in terms of delivery food. Here is how it works.

You connect to the Burrito Bomber web-app and order a burrito. Your smartphone sends your current location to our server, which generates a waypoint file compatible with the drone's autopilot.

We upload the waypoint file to the drone and load your burrito in to our custom made Burrito Delivery Tube.

The drone flies to your location and releases the Burrito Delivery Tube. The burrito parachutes down to you, the drone flies itself home, and you enjoy your carne asada.

I know the alluring aroma of Fancy Feast probably did it, but isn't it a sign of rabies when raccoons are seen during the day? Aren't they night time critters?

actually racoons aren't nocturnal.they're more like otters and ferrets and other members of the same family. they are most active at sun-rise and set. but that cat is lucky to be alive. 'coons are bad-a$$ animals! i'd run if i were that cat.

That cat is lucky to be alive. These raccoons can be badasses! A few squirrels and cats have been killed and eaten from my neighborhood by these two raccoons that make their home here.

So a few things:

a) hope your cat (or dog) doesn't corner a racoon - they're a lot tougher than they look

b) Racoons are filthy and your pet can catch some bad shit from them

c) Speaking of which, they can also spread some pretty terrible disease to kids and things via ... um ... droppings - which can cause blindness among other things

Beyond their cuteness, I really admire racoon's ability to adapt, and their clever, inquisitive nature. But they're wild animals. Your cat could get seriously F*ed up.

I have to throw in my voice as well concerning the gorgeous deck and backyard! Must be awesome to have a BBQ out there during Spring and Summer. And hot cocoa during winter. :)

Very lucky cat. Raccoons can easily slash through skin with their claws. They're also pretty smart, and with near-opposable thumbs, they can be quite wily.

I agree. Adorable interaction but really dangerous. And if that raccoon is comfortable with the cats' and humans' presence...well...they better be prepared to buy catfood for two animals because once a coon thinks there is a meal to be had, it will keep coming back. A coon kept getting into my neighbor's house through the cat-door and just hung out...not safe with small children. He's always ok with me but a 4 year old doesn't know not to pet the *adorable* raccoon 'cuz he might bite your face off (but only because he's scared).

Poor declawed kittie. That raccoon wouldn't have come back again had he been clawed in the face the first time. At one point the cat looks at it's human like "you going to step in and give me a hand with thing that's stealing my food?"

LOL @ 15. Yeah I thought that that cat didn't look very happily at its owner.

So raccoons can eat/beat a cat. How is the feral cat population in the area where raccoons live? Feral cats can get very big in Oz, big enough to take down a small kangaroo (wallaby) see http://www.scottishbigcats.co.uk/worldnews45.htm

I'd a thought a cat that size would eat a raccoon for entrée.

ps: When I was in Florida we left our car for 30 seconds (all doors open) in a state park, enough time for a smash and grab of our pack of 5minute noodles by one of these things. It was so cute, didn't realise they were so dirty.

Great video... I love the way at one point where the cat looks at whoever is shooting the video, as if saying "Hey, are you going to do something about this? Seriously, I'm trying to eat here..."

Clearly a very domesticated 'coon. The cat wasn't really being very aggressive; its clear this is a common event. He's pissed, but not willing to make a big fuss over it. Tuxedos are deceptively strong, and often mild-mannered. Raccoons are very adaptable, and this one is clearly acclimatised to humans (the videographer) and cats.

Having dealt with cats & coons for years, I have found that one backs down in a confrontation. There may be posturing & bravado, but I have never seen a cat and coon actually fight. The coon would win, and a cat probably knows this. Coons are nocturnal, but seen in birthing season in daylight hours. Only enemies a coon has are man and canine, and canines are only a real problem in a pack. Coons are fastidious not filthy, but carry a roundworm that can be transmitted to humans & some other animals by their feces. This coon is typical--not intimidated by cat whacks. I've seen them be stung by wasps, but still eat them.
