PHILADELPHIA – A hitchhiking robot that captured the hearts of
fans worldwide met its demise in the U.S.

The Canadian researchers who created hitchBOT as a social
experiment told The Associated Press that someone in
Philadelphia damaged the robot beyond repair early Saturday,
ending its first American tour after about two weeks.

“Sadly, sadly it’s come to an end,” said Frauke Zeller, one of
its co-creators.

The kid-size robot set out to travel cross-country after
successfully hitchhiking across Canada in 26 days last year and
parts of Europe. It’s immobile on its own, relying on the
kindness of strangers. Those who picked it up often passed it to
other travelers or left it where others might notice it.

It started in Marblehead, Massachusetts, on July 17 with its
thumb raised skyward, a grin on its digital face and tape
wrapped around its cylindrical head that read “San Francisco or
bust.”

The robot bounced around the Boston area and was briefly taken
to sea. One day, it took in a Red Sox game, checking off one of
the items on the bucket list created for it. But hitchBOT never
made it off the East Coast.

The creators were sent an image of the vandalized robot Saturday
but couldn’t track its location because the battery is dead.
They said they don’t know who destroyed it or why.

The robot was designed to be a talking travel companion and
could toss out factoids and carry limited conversation. A GPS in
the robot tracked its location, and a camera randomly snapped
photos about every 20 minutes to document its travels.

During past travels, the robot attended a comic convention and a
wedding, and it had its portrait painted in the Netherlands. It
once spent a week with a heavy metal band.

With the robot destroyed, Zeller said, she was most concerned
about children who loved hitchBOT and followed it on social
media.

Her team doesn’t plan to release the last photo of it to protect
young fans who might be distraught.

“I hope that people won’t be too disappointed, too sad,” she
said.

Boston and Philly, two of the most uncivilized nigger infested
cities in America.
