Hah, Burritos are probably the perfect test for this. Small, heavy enough, an even weight distribution, and, are time sensitive - nobody wants a cold burrito. It'll be interesting to see where this tech goes in say 10 years.

And... I'm now craving a burrito. Damn!

I'd also point out that Virginia tech's campus is fairly rural flat terrain so the risk of running into anything or getting shot down by miscreants is pretty low.

I'd say VT students are more likely than your average American to build some sort of burrito interceptor.

Burritos are also wrapped in aluminum foil, which helps with heat retention.
