    Hitchbot

    The Hitchbot was a robot that was trying to hitchhike across the country from what I understand. It didn't make it. The guy on the news was acting as if the thing was human when he was talking about it. Some-one cut the head and arms off, stole the electronics, and dumped it in a ditch. I may be a d*ck, but I thought it was hilarious.

    It made it across a few countries before it came here. It couldn't last more than two weeks in the us. Go merica

    I'm not surprised that it met its demise in Philadelphia. This added another small pile of trash to an already dirty city.

    Yeah, the historic places are nice, but overall it's dirty.

    This showcases the dangers of hitch hiking kids. They should have outfitted it with ar-15's to survive hitching in philly

    I heard this was all a hoax by a YouTube prankster and the robot wasn't actually destroyed...?

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
