It's really cute and a very interesting idea. I can't wait to see where the little guy goes and I hope no one messes with him.

It made it to downtown Philadelphia and some violent idiots tore it apart and demolished it. Breaks my heart to see how violent our culture can be.

I started a new thread on hitchBOT's destruction. Looks like there is surveillance footage. I don't know if anyone can be charged but I hope so. Enough people seem to have strong suspicions about who did this.

Horrible. Survived 27 days in Canada. Survived crossing Holland and Germany. Can't survive a couple weeks in our country though.
