    If you are a Hitchhiking robot, don´t go hitchhiking in USA

    at least not if you don´t have an arsenal of weapons for self defense

    RIP Hitchbot

    After he already successfully traveled Canada and Europe and met friendly people there, he wanted to visit the USA.
    2 weeks everything went well, he even was taken to a football game. Then he finally met an idiot around Philadelphia, which irreparably destroyed it

    HitchBOT, the tweeting, child-sized robot that made its way across Canada and safely visited Germany and the Netherlands was "vandalized" in the U.S.

    I nearly posted this myself - but it was Philly after all - serious routing error there I'd say

        Hitchbot - RIP

        They even tore him apart.

            The dumb asses posted a youtube video on it too. They were some cracker ass red neck teens that looked like they had escaped from the set of Deliverance. Hint: If you are going to commit a crime don't video type yourself and post it on the internet.

              I thought about posting this, but it was a story about nasty stuff happening in the US. So in the interests of being nice, I thought I'd avoid posting it, just in case people thought I was attacking the US.

                    You should have posted it in a "nice" way. "Evil robot, meets deserved fate in a lovely city of Philadelphia!"

                      Yes, it was a mean, spiteful, stupid thing to do...but was it actually criminal?
                      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                          If you mean the 2 vloggers ... nope ... they didn´t do it ... but they left Hitchbot at the location where it finally was dismembered and decapitated.

                          Seems like there now is a surveillance video about the person who did it, in the early morning around 5 am

                          I guess he will be the first victim of skynet, as soon as it awakens

                            There will be no first people against the wall when the robots rise up. They are efficient. We will all be against the wall at once.

                              how do you know a dog didn't do it? I hear the dogs in Philadelphia are ferocious and can tear a six foot two bodybuilder to shreds.
