[QUOTE="Geek, post: 2078590, member: 246624"] [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_roboauction2.jpg[/IMG]If you've always dreamed of taking over the world with an army of robots, but your plans have stalled due to your characteristic procrastination (or lack of robots), this, my friends, is your time to act. The robots in this 3 million square foot factory in Newark, Delaware used to make cars for Chrysler. But I don't think they'll complain if you put them to work for more nefarious ends. The auction is being held by the University of Delaware, who bought the Chrysler plant and all robotics therein some years ago. Here is just an incomplete list of the mechanical bounty up for the bidding: [INDENT] Equipment includes: Machine Shop and Maintenance; Welding and Cutting; CNC 6-Axis Robotics; Coordinate Measuring Machines; Compressors, Dryers and Air Tanks; Cooling Towers, Weld Water, Heating and Cooling Equipment; Back Up Generators; Vehicle Lifts and Wheel Alignment; Vehicle Test, Repair and Fill; Fork Lifts, Mobile Equipment and Floor Scrubbers/Sweepers; Distribution Center; Production Carts and Storage Containers (Large Quantities); Storage and Retrieval Systems; Misc Plant and Support Equipment; Large Quantity of Metal Stock; Cafeteria Equipment; Office Equipment (Large Quantity); and Much More. [/INDENT] If you're stroking a cat and muttering, "mmyes, YES," to yourself as you read this, here is the pertinent information: the auction takes place February 25 at 10 AM at University of Delaware's Clayton Hall.
