    This is so cool. Kind of want to visit New York for the first time just so I can run into one of these.

    If I wasn't in a hurry, I would totally see it through to its destination. Then put something in its path to stop it from leaving, and pat its head or something.

    also, the Tweenbots project is a neat idea, but i can't help but wonder how these things didn't get flagged as possible IEDs, either...
    because this is new york, not baghdad.

    also this park is right between NYU and lower east side and as such lots of fun things happen there all the time. tiny robots aren't really that out of the ordinary.

    Also New Yorkers aren't idiots
    Like Bostonians

    thems fightin words

    not only would we have helped that robot on its way, we would have taken it to a pub and bought it a beer

    aqua-teen-ad_425.jpg

    Don't worry, as long as the robots made it to their destination within a week the authorities wouldn't have enough time to act. This town's so slow at noticing things the little guy would be able to get onto a fully-loaded flight to Los Angeles and get into the air before anyone noticed something was amiss.

    I was just thinking this. In fact, I'd not only give it a ride to its destination but I'd probably draw a festive Hawaiian shirt on his/her torso-box.

    See, I would kidnap one, take it home and make up tiny bumper stickers from different locations and stick it to the bot.

    You know the cliche suitcase, how it has stickers on it from around the country/world.

    I would do that. ^^

    Friends of mine stole a lawn gnome from one of their teacher's lawns with the intention of giving it back to said teacher upon graduation. When I heard about this I immediately asked for photos of this gnome taken from different angles and positions so I could then photoshop them into scenes from around the globe.

    The teacher was startled and completely convinced for all of 20 seconds, I wish I could have seen her face.

    this actually fucking happened.

    someone stole an old woman's lawn gnome, traveled the fucking WORLD with it, took pictures of the little dude on the great wall and on the pyramids and shit, and returned it anonymously with a photo album labeled "my vacation."

    unless it's just a wonderful urban legend.

    This is the storyline of Le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poutain. It is a nice movie, but I doubt it really happened.

    a motor and a battery and some wheels
    and the battery was probably a late design consideration when they figured people wouldnt wanna wind them up every 2 metres like a happy meal toy
