Take a look at this patent. Doesn't this sort of thing just kill you? It seems to cover many types of robots that are already out there and stifle any inovation. I mean "transporting golf clubs or other objects and accessories". Does that mean that I should be able to get a patent on "a widget connected to zero or more widgets that do something"?
What does everyone think? Can this be for real and is there any way to challenge this patent?
United States Patent 6,404,159-Automatic cart for transporting golf clubs or other objects and accessories
