So I was working on a +/-1200 acre property survey the other day and we had a mini heat wave happening.?ÿ Since I had not gotten acclimated yet, I was really feeling it.?ÿ Sometimes, those hot days just make you frustrated when things do not go as expected.?ÿ I had just set the robot up on the forward point and had hiked back to get the back sight in direct face.?ÿ Some pretty good canopy, so it was a little dark under the trees (primary excuse), I had cleared enough room to see a very clear line to the instrument.?ÿ I hit the search button and could see the instrument rotating, but it would not find me.?ÿ I could even use the keypad and manually point the scope basically right at me, but still no luck.?ÿ I finally hiked back to see what the problem was.?ÿ Can you figure it out from this picture.......

Wellllll...if it was a REAL Robot, then you could have told it to bring your hat over, and then return to the control point and get busy.

Kinda reminds me of a minion. Those little critters make me laugh, especially the one eyed minion.

Hello Jon!

?ÿ ?ÿIt looks like a surveyor was thinking so hard about the business of surveying that he metamorphosed into a total station.?ÿ
