I know you're kidding, but as awesome as that would be, someone would just steal it. The GPS wouldn't be foolproof in locating where it was stolen to. Chances are someone would order a pizza to someone else's house, wait for it to arrive, ambush it and detach the battery, and then take it apart to steal the ideas.

You're close, but I'm pretty sure they'll just be delivering death to all humans. DON'T open your door, even if it offers you free breadsticks.
