Went to a place in Fort Collins, Colorado that makes robotic arms. Loaded a bunch of parts that are part of a robotic arm that works on those huge blades from the wind turbines. You know, the ones that are popping up all over as a form of "green" energy. This thing is used in the manufacturing process of the blades. When they put the 2 half's of the blades together this robot runs along the blade and trims off the excess fiberglass then sands it smooth. By hand it takes 6 people 6 hours to do that. This machine does it all in 2 hours. I was one of 3 other trucks today picking up parts to this machine. There are 3 more scheduled Monday. All of us are going to a place in Grand Forks, North Dakota where the blades are manufactured. It took all day to load my trailer so I didn't get very far. I stopped for the night in Burns, Wyoming.
