I saw the vid earlier, and I thought it was a really interesting bit of creative factory thinking there. Who would have thought of redoing the motorized carts with vehicle elements, and buying tubs from Walmart? It sounds very wunderkind-ish, and no wonder the competitors have a hard time keeping up/copying such imagination.

KAIZEN!!!

They seemed pretty cool in those interviews, hopefully they are off-camera too!

Yea, they're cool but annoying as heck. Everytime I am walking, they're always in my way and I have to stop to let them pass.....
