Carry Your Groceries Like a Jedi: Piaggio’s Star Wars Droid Robot is Here!
May the 4th be with your groceries! Piaggio Fast Forward has unveiled a special edition of their cargo-carrying robot, the G1T4-M1N1, bringing a touch of the Star Wars universe to everyday errands. Imagine a droid companion, inspired by the iconic R2-D2, following you around with your shopping bags. Is this the droid you're looking for?
The G1T4-M1N1 is a limited Star Wars edition of Piaggio Fast Forward's gitamini, sporting a vibrant yellow color and astromech-inspired detailing. But it's not just about looks; this robot is designed to be a functional companion. Equipped with cameras and sensors, the G1T4-M1N1 can identify and follow its user, navigating obstacles with ease.
Piaggio Fast Forward CEO Greg Lynn emphasizes the perfect fit with the Star Wars legacy: "Collaborating with Disney and Lucasfilm on this Star Wars-inspired robot was a natural fit because their legacy of creative storytelling aligns perfectly with our team’s mission."
Using "pedestrian etiquette," the G1T4-M1N1 navigates smoothly, maintaining a comfortable distance from its user. Custom droid sounds, reminiscent of R2-D2's beeps and bloops, and light patterns provide status updates. The robot can carry up to 20 pounds, with a cargo bin measuring 17.9 x 16.5 x 18.9 inches.
CNET's reviewer spent time with the G1T4-M1N1, noting its ability to weave through obstacles. While the robot is designed to imprint on its leader's legs visually, it can be tricked! The reviewer found that wearing jeans similar in color to others allowed the bot to be fooled into following someone else.
Priced at $2,875, the G1T4-M1N1 is $400 more than the standard Gitamini. This premium gets you the Star Wars makeover, complete with decals and sound effects. You will also have access to connect through the mygita app where you’ll be able to name your droid, stream music, and check the battery status. Order yours today on piaggiofastforward.com and DisneyStore.com.
So, is the Piaggio Fast Forward Star Wars G1T4-M1N1 worth the price? It's certainly a unique way to show off your love for the franchise, and it could be a convenient companion for carrying groceries or other items. What do you think?
