LOOKIT!
Jumping Jesus, this appeals to the criminally lethargic in me. A floating device whereby I can, by use of remote control and propellers, float a beer over to my child in the pool, and then retrieve the beast so as to replenish my hot, flat brew.
40 year old technology, sure, but writ large to appeal to me, the lazy. I really like this. My pool cries out for it. My pool also cries out for chlorine, and other necessities that prevent it becoming a cesspool, but first things first. I want that pool caddy.
Well you should have it then. Go for it Vman... You could also use it to carry big black chunks over to the edge of the pool that emit themselves from your orifices like the one Elisson posted...ewwww

Hell, nobody'd have to get up and get a cold one out of the floatin' cooler... Hell, while your at it, why not invent one thats amphibian... land and water man. Kinda like a remote controlled Marine, just without the cussin', which, I personally think is a bummer. Hell of an idea... everybody needs a mobile beer bitch.
...and a depth finder!!!

From "the lazy" brotherhood.
If it has a suction option it almost qualifies for the punchline to a bad sexist joke about 'the perfect woman.'

All the same, it's probably a safe bet to invite Gene Hackman, Earnest Borgnine, and that carpet-bagger Grampa Joe over to the Velocihovel for the maiden voyage.

Hell, I'd lay odd's he could swim out to you without droppin' a Baby Ruth in the pool. The yard, well, that's another matter altogether.
I almost got my dog to open the cooler and bring me a beer... He could get the cooler open with his stub nose but when he bit down on the beer can, he punctured it and it sprayed the shit out of him and "hissed" at himthe shit, then he shook the shit out of it 'tween his jaws and stomped it twice for good measure. A doggy double tap of sorts I guess...
It was a good try though. I gave him an A for effort...
Ahh, there is a small design flaw. It won't even hold a six-pack! WTF?
