MINI-USA sent me a free robot!

I was playing around with the robot configurator on the MINI-USA website when I noticed that they had made an error.

When I chose to build an MCS robot, it did not have a supercharger. Both the MCS and the Cooper versions of the robots had the same naturally aspirated engine!!!

Since this is an obvious and terrible oversight on the part of MINI, I send a silly email to them to inform them of their mistake.

Today, the Fed-Ex guy showed up with a big box with a free silver robot!

Thanks MINI-USA !

Nope, no free MCS. . . .

but they are sending us a new Cooper in October but I don't think they are going to outright give it to us!

Better yet, don't take it out of the box because they are very flimsy and break very easy. Besides, ti will be worth BIG bucks if you leave it in the package for a few years.
