By Bill Smith July 11, 2026

Many travelers hit the same snag during trips. You arrive at the airport or hotel and need a physical boarding pass, hotel confirmation, or attraction ticket in hand. The front desk has a line. The business center sits locked or requires extra fees. Phone screens work until they do not, especially when staff ask for paper copies.

The second case had both robots work together from start to finish with no human hands directly involved in the procedure itself.

Clay That Holds Impossible Shapes, One Maker’s Pressurized 3D Printer Extruder Unlocks Pottery No Wheel Could Ever Form

DOOM on the Casio Loopy, How a 1995 Sticker Console Became an Unlikely Gaming Machine

By Bill Smith July 11, 2026

Casio released the Loopy in Japan back in 1995 as a home console aimed at young girls. It featured a built-in thermal printer that could turn any game screen into a physical sticker. Only about eleven games ever appeared for the system before Casio ended production a few years later. The hardware sat largely forgotten outside a small group of collectors until a new flash cartridge and one determined developer changed the picture.
