Airline flight delayed for bizarre reason as humanoid robot triggers safety query
Bebop the robot drew crowds by dancing at the gate before a lithium battery issue grounded it temporarily
A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed for about an hour recently for a most unusual reason.
A humanoid robot had been brought on board as a passenger. But it couldn't take to the skies right away.
The 75-pound robot, named Bebop, was traveling from Oakland, California, to San Diego on Thursday, April 30 — and attracted a crowd at the gate as it danced for everyone before boarding.
"A lot of people came, took videos and had their kids come and give it high-fives," Eily Ben-Abraham, an employee with Elite Event Robotics of Dallas, Texas, told Fox News Digital. Elite Event Robotics rents out interactive robots for events.
The delay in the flight stemmed from an issue with the robot’s battery — which exceeded airline limits, the company said.

I wore my Star Wars shirt to 3rd grade picture day. We saw it as a family 3 times in the theater which was unheard of at the time. I remember when Empire Strikes Back came out. We saw it at the drive in, I didn't care for it much. I just remember Yoda, some black guy and someone getting their hand cut off. Never saw another Star Wars movie after that.

Only way they can is if congress gets involved.Speaking Tuesday on Josh Pate’s College Football Show, Day voiced support for the NCAA potentially adopting a mandatory two-year commitment for student-athletes before entering the transfer portal.
“I feel pretty strong about that. I do,” he said.
The Ohio State head coach acknowledged such a change would create “ripple effects in other areas,” meaning the NCAA and its various committees would need to weigh several factors before implementing a two-year requirement.
Just sayin': The NIL genie and transfer genie are both out of their bottles and you won't get them back in. Limiting transfers would ultimately reduce a player's total amount of NIL money a player could amass over his/her college career. Unfortunately, I can't see the NCAA ever adopting that. Sadly, if the NCAA adopts the 5-in-5 rule you are going to see some players transfer 5 times......
Ok you can stop laughing now.
