I came here with a simple dream. A dream of killing all humans. And this is how it must end?

(Yes... another Futurama quote...)

Last week I heard about "hitchBOT".

hitchBot is a hitchhiking robot.

WTF do we need a robot that is a hitchhiker, when there are so many other worthless bums who are hitchhikers.

Perhaps, it's so that the robot will get picked up, since it doesn't smell like booze, pot or armpits.

My fear about a "Robo" (not to be confused with a "Romo"), is the possibility of it recording conversations & taking pictures of who it's with.

Bender: "What did you just call me?"
Hobo: "A Robo. You know, a Robot Hobo?"
Bender: "Oh okay, I thought you said Romo."

I love social engineering, and this seems like a good thing to have for watching how people behave.

So I bet the guys running this project must have had a lot of fun with it so far...

Just imagine it getting into a car with a family like the Griswalds... The kids are picking their noses, farting, smearing who knows what all over the Robo...

When the Robo got out of that car, there'd be all sorts of stuff stuck to it, and shoved into its crevices, etc.

It's so sad!

hitchBot got bamboozled and is it multiple pieces...

Bender: No other robot could have done it.
              It took twelve years of tireless stalking, but I hunted down and killed my best
              friend.
              [cries]
             I'm the greatest.

 hitchBot got vandalized in Philadelphia, the city [sniff] of brotherly love...
