This little robot needs help…
Okay, this is adorably geeky. Kacie Kinzer at ITP put this little robot that only drives straight in Washington Square Park, with a note attached to it asking people to help it get to it’s destination. I wish I’d seen this little guy puttering along through there!
I love the blend of science and sociology that this represents. It gives me some ideas, and the happy outcome speaks well of humanity in general…

[Kacie Kinzer] put together an interesting social experiment: Could a robot navigate purely by the help of strangers?
on the first run it was able to traverse through Washington Square Park in just 42 minutes with the help of 29 people

So if the TSA had seen this… they would have arrested anyone assisting the robot, then blown the robot up in a controlled demolition. After that the FBI would have investigated the robot incident for months during which time the DHS would declare this a victory over terrorism. Ultimately some random person in Wisconsin would be found responsible for the attack and be sent to jail for many years. 20th Century Fox would buy the movie rights, and create a film that makes Terminator look like a Pixar film.
The TSA… saving the world, one fantasy at a time.
