Short On Change? Build A BeggarBot
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 27 of April , 2009 at 1:38 am
This is ┼╜icar, a “robot for the materially deprived and socially excluded.” He’s designed to go places where begging for change in normally not allowed, i.e. shopping malls and other places where people with lots of disposable income like to hang out:
┼╜icar is made out of old PCs and other cheap electronic ‘junk,’ and his plans and programming are open source (although the project is a couple years old and I haven’t been able to find said source). On average, the robot was able to collect a not-too-shabby $7 an hour for charity, and he’s available for rent if you’re homeless.
