Only two weeks into an attempt to travel across the United States, the friendly hitchhiking robot's journey has ended in Philadelphia after being beaten to a pulp.
HitchBOT, who was created by a team of communication researchers from Ontario, was found damaged beyond repair early Saturday in the city of brotherly love.

Bender stole it Napl?
I don’t know why but this upsets me. Maybe I should take a road trip for a Genos cheesesteak in this robot’s honor. Poor bugger.

And let that be a message to the REST of you! It's a Sicilian message, "HitchBOT sleeps with the fishes."

Robot murders are on the rise! Up one from zero?
No comment from the LBGTQ-R crowd?
If this was not a robot on robot crime it might be a hate crime?

I guess it’s supposed to be the “City of Brotherly Love” (or something like that); but evidently the love doesn’t extend to ROBOTS. (They should have named him CECIL.)

Sure! I’ve never eaten there. Just at Geno’s. All my cheesesteaks have been in Jersey.

FYI...... the robot is a modern day rip off of Paddle To the Sea, a great book about the journey of a small man in a canoe from the Ontario runoff to the Atlantic via the Great Lakes and several helpful admirers.
Wiki.... "At Lake Nipigon, Canada, a native boy carves a wooden model of an Indian in a canoe and sets it free to travel the Great Lakes to the Atlantic ocean. The story follows the progress of the little wooden Indian on its journey through all five Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River, finally arriving at the Atlantic Ocean. Each movement of the canoe is celebrated by a short chapter, suitable for reading aloud to a child and decorated with black-and-white sketches and at least one full-page watercolor. The sketches accompany the larger story and tell smaller narrative stories of their own: for example, one sketch demonstrates how a sawmill works by visually outlining the progress of a log of timber towards a mechanical saw."
it is one of my favorite books

I am 85% sure it is NJ yutes who did this, then dumped it along side Philly (wherever it was discovered).
Anybody who did this won’t just throw it out of their window/their own backyard, you know. Gotta plant it elsewhere......

All you got to do is watch the fans of the professional sports teams in Philadelphia to understand this event.
