Another Waste of Time
This helps contribute to my continued faith in humanity (link):

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.

Results: Every single time, aided by perfect strangers with no knowledge of project, the Tweenbots reached their destination. Bravo, New Yorkers, bravo.
