greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe i'm jeff cannata ashley Esqueda is out sick today so we send her our best wishes to get well soon but i still got some headlines for you researchers at Stanford have introduced a new robot and this one is focused on versatility this robot is called the Stanford climbing and aerial maneuvering platform or scamp for short scamp flies like a drone perches on vertical walls adjusts itself if its perch starts to slip up climbs walls and then peels away from the surface to take off again spined feet give scamp the ability to grip onto rough surfaces like wolves and accelerometers and rotors work together to correct scamp's position as it climbs the research team says they cease camp as a jumping-off point for a family of perching and climbing robots of different sizes and use cases this is particularly cool because scamp can access places that don't have any horizontal positions to land on they should rubble and kind of dangerous locations where you would want a drone to go into but may not be able to land anywhere because there's so much uneven surfaces to be able to perch on to a side wall super cool a dutch parcel company has introduced a delivery service that will actually make your product while it's being delivered post NL consulted with 3d printing expert URIs vent to Bergen to ship a box with nothing inside but an ulta maker to 3d printer that would create a trumpet while the box was on its way to its destination they switched on the printer and sent it out for delivery to Hollins number one trumpet ear and on arrival he assembled the trumpet and was able to play it of course this is an ad so there's probably a little bit of finessing involved with the finished video but it's still pretty cool stunts and we thought you might enjoy seeing it first of all I want to know if there's a lot of competition to become Holland's number one trumpet ear and secondly I think this is pretty cool it kind of throws the whole idea of manufacturing and delivery all out of whack but I do think it might be easier just to have your own 3d printer at home love to hear what you think about this stuff you can always use the hashtag hey TD on Twitter to let us know what you're thinking and if we like your shouts at us over Twitter we'll use your comments on our long episode on Thursday where Ashley and I will hash out these stories I think we're going to have to dive into this this 3d printing idea on thursday sounds like a really good story all right now it's time for our phone tog refer of the day today's phone tog refer is Jared who took this on his iphone 5s Jared Wright's hey guys love you and your show I took this shot with my old 5s while fishing in late-september by a pond near my house you can tell by the majestic geese flying in the picture and I totally give you permission to use it on your show what a beautiful shot Jarrod this is amazing I yeah you can't see the geese they're really beautiful with the with the Sun behind the clouds there if you would like to be a photographer on our show we'd love to get that from you all you got to do is send it to us tomorrow at cnet com make sure you tell us what device you use to take the picture give us a little story about what it is and give us permission to use it on the show find us on social media we love hearing from you we'll be back tomorrow hopefully Ashley will be back all healthy and ready to go until that time be good humans hi you
