Panhandling Robot



Gimme is a robot/sculpture designed by Chris Eckert that follows people around, asking for money:

My newest art machine, Gimme is an automated panhandler that follows a viewer (or multiple viewers) around the room while relentlessly requesting donations.

Hey John,

A robot beggar!! What a concept!! Only problem I could see is that it looks as though it sits awful low to the ground... might easily be stepped on or run over by a car if it was begging on a street corner... 8-)

I posted a comment on one of your NeatoGeek blogs a few minutes ago, before I actually read the one saying you were shutting down [I was scrolling back thru your posts, and commented on the guy on youtube that sang his lyrics for STNG... that had me ROFLOL!!!]...

In case you don't see that comment... I hope that y'all had a wonderful birthday celebration for your young'un the other day... happy birthday wishes to her, belated as they may be!! 8-)

and of course... AAAARRRGGHH Matey!! Did ye celebrate "talk like a pirate day"? Those were the days me hearty!! days of Pizza and Star Trek!! Give my love to your sweet "other half"!! Hope all of you are well!!

I started a new blog yesterday... only one post so far... it is a little different than my other blogs... I listed it in the website blank above this box... if you wouldn't mind, check it out... lemme know what ya think...

Hope this hasn't been too far "off topic"... it's good to catch up with ya again!! Take care, and don't be a stranger, my friend!!
