Thanks for that Steve! Needed a lift today and that's very cool!

Very cool, indeed!

While watching, it was interesting to see the lifeguard at the pool never stops walking back and forth. I thought they usually sat in the chairs most of the time.

I had to watch the video twice - the first time I was distracted by the lifeguard and forgot to watch the robo-artist.

Very cool indeed.

Nope, the Disney lifeguards are constantly on the move scanning the pool surface and floor.

haha! My husband said the very same thing.. said he was distracted and that he could almost set his watch by them. Very cool project with the sand art!

Impressive! That's a safety practice that is above and beyond what I would normally expect at a pool with lifeguards.

Yep. Disney trains them very well. They are constantly tested too, to ensure they are aware and alert at all times.

This is awesome!! Such a nice story after hearing about Hitchbot.. The hitch hiking robot who made it across Germany, Netherlands, and Canada only to come to the USA and be killed in Philadelphia. My new home.
