      No, the question is why not?

        The next question is whether they can stick a couple chemical tanks with variable-flow valves on that thing to inject into the stream so that they can get RGB flames.

      Where’s the robot to clean up the flaming, decapitated gopher carcasses off my lawn?

        They have an app for that now. It’s like Uber but somehow even treats their “contractors” in a worse fashion. It’s called Flameaway.

        Not needed, because they get flamed while they’re in their burrows underground. So all you have to do is plug up the holes after the bot comes out and you’re done.
