More exploring of the uses, and misuses, of mule bots. With the accessibility to mobile self-propelled and self guided platforms it would be inevitable that people would try ride on them. "After all I've gone from engineering down to sewage treatment five times today already. Why should I wear out my shoe soles doing that hike again!! Hell that mule is going there anyways and it can take my weight! Besides this way I can get caught on some of my paperwork done along the way."
Of course the rider is not secured to the mule and rider can greatly imbalance the mule so if does have to make an emergency stop http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3746481 you will not strapped to mule bot like the cargo is!
This was an early version of the mule bots when they still had a front and back to them. I later dispensed with that so it didn't matter which end was going forward. Also I made the mule's registration number a little tip of the hat to aviation history.
The strange little bot rolling in front of the mule bot is service bot that I'll explain in a future post.

Hmm, I wonder if it could hold and fire something along the lines of a Protector 151 modular turret...

For control purposes, I would imagine they have remote video cameras?
Maybe when there is a persistent error that camera switches on and an alert pops up in the monitoring room... which might end up getting a recording of the situation. (Which could then be dubbed with something appropriate and emailed around the company?)

Back in the wonderful days of working in robotics we used to worry about such things, because sooner or later a person will be -scraped off- when the robot goes someplace that is made just for it to fit into. Which of course would be messy.
On the other hand I rode a few of our own out at a few job sites (automated storage and retrieval systems), but that was mainly because we didn't have any heavy test weights with us and as long as you stay in the bin, you're safe. Of course going 60 feet up in the air in a bin on a robot arm is interesting...
