We start with general network of pipe, 12 inch diameter,pvc and it holds an air pressure gradient. Pneumatic self controlled bots roam network. They use vents along their perimeter to control speed, and can signal vent changes in the PVC pipe ahead. Thus the whole PVC system is a one time cost, simple maintenance.
The customer orders groceries, and the bot moves itself from store to kitchen, then the bot float down hill to the next return point. The house connect point could be just outside the back door. The same system used for post office and all delivers.
The network is generally one way flow, though not necessarily. The PVC pipe system does contain vents, controlled by the bots which allow two way usage of PVC pipe where needed.
Very low cost installation, infrastructure usage per month less than $15/month.
