Calm down. Calm down. Here is why we think we might be able to make this bold, awesome, careless prediction.

This mystery North Charleston project that will be the biggest commercial development in South Carolina history includes Weber USA as one of its developers.

Well, they said they'd be looking to make 6,000 jobs, but they didn't say anything about 6,000 human jobs. Sure the robots didn't do Will Smith much good in the film, but one out of them saved the planet from destruction, so they're not all bad.

But seriously, we hear that this will be a massive retail development that will blow our minds — no real word on robots. More coming Tuesday.
