Dax often attracts smiles and cellphone photos when he's making his way around town.
When the food arrived at the front porch Thursday afternoon at the Lafayette residence on College Street, the children had pretty big smiles on their faces.
Initially limited to north of Applegate Street between North 13th and North 20th, but recently expanded to include the area between North 11th and North 13th from Applegate to Houser Lane.
STEPS TO PLACE ORDER
• Send a text to 541-403-8791 weekdays between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to check Dax’s schedule for the day. Include details of your delivery, such as what Dax will be picking up and from what business.
• Contact the pickup location (Dax can go to any business in Philomath) and confirm that the business is OK with the robot making a delivery and verify that the items will fit in his 13-by-13-inch delivery drawer.
• Complete the purchase with the business (Dax cannot deliver payments).
• Once an order is all set up with the business, text Dax back and confirm your pickup time.
