Cardboard Twitter Robot Will Read Out Loud How Big Your Poop Is and Be Sad About It
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 1:30 AM on August 22, 2008
The Ganzbot is a cardboard robot built with an Arduino Decima that can read incoming Twitter feeds and show emotions as it reads them out loud--like happiness when you tweet you a got date, or soul-crushing depression when she stands you up--based on the mood you tell it to be in. You can build one for yourself on the cheap: [Mozmonkey via MAKE]

"He did a dump the size of a birthday cake. It may have had a ribcage. Please kill meee..."
Angry version kicked ass though. Good thing about the cardboard bot idea is that when the inevitable Robo-apocalypse comes, all we need to do is hide until it rains.

Well I think nobody likes the robot, because he wants to destroy.
