Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a chipotle burrito.
Alphabet Inc. and Project Wing are partnering with Chipotle and Virginia Tech to have burritos delivered by drone. If you know someone who goes to Virginia Tech, let them know that the robot apocalypse isn’t upon us, and that it’s just a good ol’ burrito being delivered by drone.

Here’s how it’s going to work at Tech: at a certain spot on campus there will be a Chipotle food truck where students will order what kind of burrito they want, and then a drone will hover down to you at a restricted spot on campus where there aren’t many students so no one will get hurt if something goes wrong.

If WS were to have a program like this, there would be many mixed emotions.
“I mean that’d be really cool. I think a lot of people would buy it and would be amazed by it, but I feel like there’s a lot that could go wrong if a drone were to malfunction,” said sophomore Alex Cronin.

For those of you who don’t know what a drone is, it’s a flying robot that can hover with or without someone controlling it.

This program makes some WS students wish there was a something similar.

“Their food is really good, like insanely good. I just like Mexican food in general,” said sophomore Savannah McLaughlin.

Not only do students want this program at WS, but teachers do too.

“I think that’s the greatest thing that’s happened to human society,” said geometry teacher and Virginia Tech alumn Dawson Allen. “If I could, I would force them to install sun rooms to all the classrooms so burritos could be delivered during class.”

However, some people don’t like Chipotle, so to them, this innovation would be at far from welcome.
“I can’t stand it. It makes me nauseous. I’m amazed in the number of people who love it,” said WS history teacher Mary Shipman.

You may be wondering, why was Chipotle chosen for this project even after their E. Coli scandal? It turns out, they were chosen because of the close packaging of burritos.

The packaging keeps the heat insulated, and if the drone were to drop the burrito, it wouldn’t be destroyed. So no need to worry, your burrito will be safe.

“I mean you can never really be too safe with drones. Since we’re in trailers and everyone’s outside, there could be a possibility of someone getting hit,” said Cronin, “Maybe we’d get off school.”
