It would be sweet to be sitting in the backyard and have a drone deliver some cold beer.

A 4 pack would have worked until I felt well enough to go to the store

I'm going to order some dog treats. Fetch it up boy!!






That dog will probably eat the drone.


If the drone resembles a frisbee in any way it won't be returning to base.

If it's hovering low enough over my yard that it is bothering me, a baseball will suffice.

We used them to take out barn rats when I was a kid. Maybe I still have that skill.

Presumably, if it is hovering over your yard, it is attempting to deliver something to you. Maybe not the best idea to throw a baseball at a delivery you ordered.

If I have a return will it show up and let me attach it to the drone and take it away?

Tie it to a baseball and see if it will catch it.

6.7 acre site. Just how much "stuff" is this facility going to stock? Not sure what the point is other than to say they did it.

Drone can only deliver shoebox size stuff. 6.7 acres can hold a lot of shoeboxes. Probably have a pretty steady stream of trucks coming from the larger warehouse.

Also, Amazon warehouses are already run by robots that pick all the orders. People just put the stuff in boxes and slap on a shipping label.

Amazon put in a distribution center near us when I still lived in round rock. They needed a lot of parking. Developer was building a site with a few single story office/warehouse buildings. Amazon came in, used the largest building but leased the whole site for the parking.

Would be cool if they were a distribution center too and send out trucks rather than rely on USPS.

As far as I know the robots don't pick orders....
They bring the product bins to a picker, and they do some of the sorting of boxed packages ready for shipping.
Amazon is still very much a people driven business.
