"A canoe that can paddle itself with robotic arms, leaving the operator free to take a deep breath, sit back, and concentrate on not capsizing."

As I enjoy paddling, this doesn't do it for me. However, drone re-supplies and portage assistance could be interesting.....

Ahhhh, progress!
 
Lazy folk will always find a way to be lazy.
It's not about being lazy, that took a lot of work. As somebody who's well out along the engineering spectrum, I totally get it. It's about the build and making it work, not using it. He'll probably play with it a couple of times and then take it apart and build something else.

Like the airboat I once built from an old rowing shell, a big chainsaw motor, and the biggest model airplane propeller I could find... it did 12 knots amid an earsplitting whine. Took it out twice and then dismantled it and moved on to other projects.
