Hitchbot: Oh dear, my body was damaged

On 08/02/15 hitchbot was damaged and has vanished in the area of Philadelphia.

Hitchbots homepage

It was more of a social experiment than a technologic feat, so I don't know if this is the correct board - mods, move it please to right sub if necessary.

Wow, you mean to tell me that someone may have damaged or stolen someone else's property in Philadelphia? No. Can't be.

a reply to: ManFromEurope

No surprise there, I wouldn't hitchhike through Philadelphia either.

So the little bot made it all around Canada, Netherlands, and Germany.
Poor little thing should have avoided some parts of the US, not safe. ...

Travel advisory - research more about the US before visiting....figure out the safe zones....

Sometimes people just suck...

What else can be said?

I wouldn't worry too much. It is probably just moving to it's Auntie and Uncle's in Bel Air.

BOOM (drops mic and walks away...)

You've never been to a Flyers game, have you?

This is how poor hitch bot was found...smh

I sense a new Law & Order episode is already in the works.

Some people just plain old suck I tell you.

Made it safe through Germany.

No wonder so many around the world are scared to travel to the US. I've heard that too many times in recent years.

Who's up for a 'who really killed Hitchbot?' thread in the general conspiricies forum?

I think the real question is: What did HitchBot know?
*cue Twilight Zone music*

Alright, I'm making a thread. We have to get to the bottom of this before the feds get involved...

Plot twist: HitchBot was really an international spy.

The US is a hot mess.........Many places are filled with self absorbed entitled whinny little adult children. OR thugs and criminals......take your pick.



The middle of the country is OK except urban areas. What a great idea this is....It is a shame people have zero class or pride.

Here it is.
Why did Hitchbot have to die?

Either a adult child.......Very common these days they are 20-30 somethings who refuse to grow up or a thug. It is a great idea and would have made a interesting movie or something.

Obviously, this is a case of...robot mutilation by aliens.

We need your help in the conspiracy thread, then..
