If the things had four or five wheels, and could figure out which wheels 
are over the pallet's bottom slats and not elevate them, then they would 
be really useful.   Bonus if they can figure out uneven floors and 
dynamically compensate the individual wheels so the load stays level. 
Sortof like the the hundred wheel transporter thing that MAMMOUt uses to 
transport huge objects.
