tweenbots.

I'm late to the game on this one, but I really, really do love both the concept and the bots. I have to post it just to show my support.


Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.

What a bizarre concept, but v.cool. It would be funny to see one in the flesh and not have a clue what it's all about.

I love this. Can someone direct me around? Say I just wear a shirt with my destination on it, and then people can then push me in the right direction. They're on to something.
