Neighborhoods will resume next week! There was a tie in the votes last week, so I made this video.

[@lsj1079]

Thanks for helping make others aware of the struggles of the handicapped community.

[@itsdaveynft]

9/10......... - 1 point for not actually riding the robot

[@mitchellvena7633]

Cool to come across some quality Pittsburgh-focused video productions. You've earned a subscriber, keep up the good work!

[@WesternMan-th1ow]

I absolutely love the way you make videos. The editing is amazing, I love the unique shots that you capture and the soul your videos have. You should definitely start making travel videos in general. This is one of my favorite channels on the entire platform. Keep up the great work man, much love from Utah

[@318isGood]

Love your stories, love the style, love your stuff!! Subscribed and can't wait to watch what's next!! Keep up the awesome job 👍

[@markt.1196]

Loved the eyes you pasted on them and loved the music you chose !!!

[@jeanetdun]

“Hail Hydr- uh I mean Hail to Pitt!”

[@AdamSolar]

Was curious about these, thanks for the awesome video!

[@thegoouch]

Great video! I love your content, always enjoyable, and you turned me on to Dream Junkies! Thanks Dean!

[@chowderheadz5715]

Everything this guy makes is gold 😍

[@quinndemand]

A little bit of a different tack with this video and a really fun surprise! So, there is (was?) a column in the City Paper called "You Had to Ask" and this totally had that feel! When you're out of neighborhoods, cute little facts and quirks about this region would keep you busy for years!

[@exiledrabbit]

"Hail to Pitt" Don't try to curry favor with me with cheap tricks such as those, robot.

[@theherbpuffer]

Love the indie feel to all these videos. Good stuff

[@HUFFLE-PUFF]

Another solid video.

[@riannelindsey388]

Thank you so much for bringing attention to the disabled community in this video! I look forward to your videos every week, they always make me smile.

[@michaelfabian2401]

Man I'm so glad I found your channel Dean, I've binged and watched just about everyone of your vids in the past week. I've thoroughly enjoyed them all, and just wanted to say Thanks for the great content, and suggest a few cool video ideas to you my dude, here we go lol How about a video/series looking into past and present live music venues in Pitts, their history and layout and what each has to offer and your take on them? Also, would love to see some more biking around Pitts, local meetups, events, places to trail ride, groups to weekend warrior it with on two wheels. Just some cool ideas I'd like to see covered, and I think you would enjoy filming/editing. Thanks again man, enjoy Pitts! We all love it and the vids you do

[@Crittbeast]

Awesome video!

[@Theyralltakenfu]

I have to say it's a great idea to some extent, it's just something new, and with that, their are always potholes to over come. At first, I thought Emily was going to praise the Robot for all the wonderful deliveries it has made to her, not keep her captive. 😂 I think calling a Robot dumb, as many kept saying is a little odd, considering it's not making it's own choices.

[@lawsonpace1009]

What an awesome surprise to hear John Givez!

[@kentharvey7323]

Very cool. I have seen these robots before but didn't know anything about them. Thanks for the quick run down.

[@rr4713]

where is Peduto and his robot lanes?! also dont forget to say NO to the proposed four mile road that would be used for PRIVATE companies

[@sanz1996_]

Great video man...!!

[@gregorykogut1]

Enjoyed this one even more than usual! Well done Dean! Really enjoyed this story

[@minskmade]

wonderfully awesome.

[@palmtreeleebythesea]

Thanks so much

[@billybobby4637]

Dean, I love your videos bro. Makes me homesick everytime I see them. I tell everyone I know from there about your channel. Hope to come back to visit in a few years. Thank you for hard work telling these stories about the greatest little city I've ever lived in.

[@eliasbatista4194]

Great video

[@DavidSmith-rc7hs]

Great vid.

[@nathanielwoock459]

I like this. More people should see it.

[@bkingski1125]

I never knew about these things

[@evanjohnson4137]

I dig it

[@darkghost8812]

Can you do shaler next for neighborhoods of Pittsburgh please

[@stephenkoban458]

woooahh when it said hail to pitt😂😂

[@jessicathomas237]

You should cover Millvale for your Neighborhoods series. It's a fun spot, lot of bars though.

[@kathrynoliver9819]

lol I saw you filming this in front of the WPU!! These robots are kinda dumb, but damn are they cute!

[@thisisastory9470]

for a second, I thought you wrote "starship's dad" instead of "starship's ad." ultimate personification - they're his CHILDREN haha

[@jim6807]

I love you dean

[@astro7051]

You should do a video of my school scitech in Oakland i could give you a tour

[@jessev4303]

Who is the artist of the song? Sounds like Dave B

[@larchlarch9851]

Love you Dean. You are the patron saint of Pittsburgh!

[@marylhere]

Make the perfect coffee table. Do they also vacuum?

[@Ratchman_5000]

At least now we know what happened to TK-421.

[@TaymarPlays]

U inspired me to come back to KZbin bro too professional in Pittsburgh 😅

[@gabrielsasala1875]

Honestly I think these robot's are a great idea, I think people are to expecting of robots

[@toniace2]

How is it that these things haven’t been vandalized yet? That’s a miracle: give the Oakland community a 1 on vandalism. Lol!

[@Priya-xv3qy]

"I deliver to Oakland" more like "I get in everybody's way and I'm a discount Wall-E"

[@Rekuddo]

LMAO send that to Pittsburgh Dad!

[@maz5540]

Ayyo Forbes Tobacco! Time to get me some pods boys

[@carsonzaremski]

Yes I made it in one of his videos!

[@bmzimmerman93]

Always tackling the newest, most intriguing topics. Are these things really necessary? Either way, I appreciate you spreading some knowledge on them!

[@cantstopsinging]

2 times one of them almost rammed into me

[@HUFFLE-PUFF]

The 1 dislike is from the robot Dean rode!

[@terrytowells5500]

Will these robots deliver my insulin?

[@alanrichardson9449]

We live in the future.

[@HardKore5250]

Alan Richardson Not yet getting there still a ways to go.

[@Arkstromater]

This is my city. I’m here because I want to know what it’s all about. This was science fiction when I was a kid. I don’t know how I feel about a robot Taking a humans job though. I feel like it’s just a matter of time before Alexa is a humanoid walking around my house cleaning and doing dishes and asking me if she can hang my coat up for me.

[@apealeal3973]

AWE HELL YEAH DEAN!!!!

[@SPIIIVA]

Saw one of these walking through oakland and wanted to kick it so bad 😂

[@cakeash]

could you steal food from them ?

[@emilyehrenberger7700]

I LOVE the fact this was made on Pitt’s campus. I go to that Taco Bell all the time!!!

[@alexausmus7133]

where is this Taco Bell??? I can’t find it

[@emilyehrenberger7700]

Alex Ausmus it’s at the bottom floor of the William Pitt Union

[@clarkdunford3132]

Dean Bog you are an absolute legend. Videos make me want to visit Pittsburgh but not move there, because I dont want to be part of gentrification. As a Portlander I am well aware of the downside of cities being "discovered".

[@xboxfan01]

Clark Dunford It’s a good place to visit, but not move to, more people are moving out of Pittsburgh then moving into it, believe it or not.

[@susansparanormalpennsylvan81]

i didnt even know about these, i am 59 yrs old, i remember before color tv, when our tv was black and white___LOL

[@abigailgrace8160]

They are so cute!

[@god_fricking_dammdit]

I am getting huge "poop bot" vibes from the show maniac. Is Pittsburgh even real

[@mts6627]

no, its not

[@HardKore5250]

Robots replace tribal humans!

[@leisure057blank3]

Please let me pass, I am going to be late,lol. At least you don’t have to tip, or do you?

[@danpatel21]

Starship charges a flat $2 delivery fee.

[@rubyjiang8836]

Please visit CMU!!!

[@AButtonProductions]

I think it'd be beneficial if, whenever a tech company had any sort of AI/robotic solution or convenience, they should be obligated to have at the very least TWO veteran civil engineers to refine and 'naysay' their ideas, forcing them to refine their initial iterations. So many times there are messy roll-outs or entirely unnecessary designs put into action without proper external input. I am incredibly PRO-tech, but only with the Asterisk of Responsible Tech. Ps. We really do not need facial scanning. The improvements will NEVER outstrip the detriments facial recognition will cause.

[@kcollier710]

Now if only they could sing on a web line and deliver pizzas...

[@alainab7912]

So cute! Reminds me of Johnny 5 or batteries not included

[@jnzk6467]

But it’s so cute!!!! No way I could be mad at them 😂

[@god_fricking_dammdit]

The fuck in wHAAAT

[@KSIMuskratLuv]

Damn I miss that Taco Bell lady, always was so pleasant

[@HardKore5250]

KSIMuskratLuv lol

[@ijkauvaka5212]

Yes! Can you do an interview with the lady from Taco Bell? Michaela(sp?) She is the best and made this video 1000 times better 🙏

[@alexausmus7133]

Where is the Taco Bell?!?

[@HardKore5250]

No the 🤖 s are the best!

[@PYRODABBLE]

I wish I would of caught you on campus BRO!!!

[@QSligh]

Pretty Dope

[@aSandwich.13]

The first time I saw one of these driving through Oakland I nearly wrecked.

[@xboxfan01]

A Sandwich Thats where I first saw them too! 😃 I was like “Is that Amazons new robots?” But then I remember hearing about Robots being placed on Pittsburgh college campuses (unrelated to Amazon) on the news.

[@aSandwich.13]

Yeah I haven't seen them anywhere else. They'd probably get mugged down in Southside 😂

[@MrUkielover]

Great video! (The dislikes are from bots 🤖)

[@INNO222]

Instead of delivering tacos. Get it to fix road potholes. So people can drive down the road and not bust their car in two pieces.

[@denismanace]

Artsy Fartsy Bog👑👌🌻❤️your vision

[@GoHarloFilms]

The robots blocking the handicap ramps are the big problem. Clearly we just need humanoid robots walking around so they can step out of the way, problem solved.

[@machinist7230]

More likely flying delivery drones. That way they dont have to worry about people.

[@rr4713]

Machinist 72 just running into birds

[@n.a.mcintosh4697]

we need to tax this enough to support the people families and society it will displace very little profit should come from the destruction of peoples lives and livelihoods ... this is AI Go Tartans!

[@craigversetti5700]

These things in theory are good but that's where the good ends , we have a huge part of the population walking around in these locations and the bots just end up creating more traffic hazards and confusion in said locations. They may work well inside company buildings or schools but we are already way to lazy & out of shape .....

[@xboxfan01]

Lol 😃 I seen this first hand a few months ago by University of Pittsburgh. They were pretty cool! 😎👍🏽

[@stacybigfoot4801]

smash, destroy, disable >>> fuck the anti-human robot future

[@NoxLegend1]

Less work for the delivery people. Would totally kick it out of my way. Is there a law against that? Nope

[@rorymccann9547]

i was literally talking to my friend about how i kinda wanted to kick one and then ran into you

[@J_C_576]

The robots deliver groceries and food as well, for only $2 delivery fee, and no you can't tip them. You can pay using your Pitt dining plan as well. I imagine they can be very useful to the community with disabilities. Sure, they aren't perfect, but nothing is. This would have been unthinkable 5 years ago. And do you see how far back out of the way they are at crossings, even in your own video? Hard to believe they block anything. It's easy to complain, but is it actually justified?

[@ThirdEyeTyrone]

Y’all ungrateful up there in Pittsburgh lol.

[@notsuspicious1113]

It's just a business trying to make it with a new opportunity. Just let the little guys run on by.

[@TM-bn8pv]

I want to hack it to say "We are Penn State" instead of "Hail to Pitt." Put a 11 of these robots in place of Pitt Football players and you'd might win some more games!

[@crosbymalkin07]

nah, 4 syllables is too many. how about just "We Are", champ? or no better yet, "Joe knew"?

[@krs923]

What purpose did this video serve? You're just needlessly shitting on them, and included only negative testimonials. Lol I don't get it. Most people on campus love them.

[@slimlouis6441]

Definitely not one of his better videos.

[@CommentingTheTruth]

Emily walked?

[@PATangoS_]

Slightly biased video. These things can be useful for those who cannot travel well. The elderly, the handicapped, mom with a kid to watch.
