[IL-Talk] Delivery Robots

[Robert Hansen]

Yeah I think these robots are in certain trending neighborhoods like
Lakeview Logan square Lincoln park. Don't quote me on that but I think
that's where they are. Yeah we should probably talk about that see if we
can have meetings with these companies. You know I haven't seen one yet but
you know I will let you know if I do.
