hopper

After watching the first six episodes of its full 12, you may thank the Universe that there aren’t more rounds in the hopper.

This year, we've got disco balls, space hoppers, a magical food blender, a Swedish sauna and, for the UK, a fallen chandelier.

Intuitive Machines, who made the hopper, say it can travel to places that other machines, like robots with wheels, can't reach or would take a very long time to get to.

Nearly vertical conveyor belts lifted dry ingredients high up to be deposited into hoppers where they were mixed with water and then the wet concrete was poured into waiting trucks below.

“That way, companies don’t think you’re a job hopper,” she said.
