Industrial Twitter Robot
September 6, 2010
On Sunday 12th September 2010 for one day only (between 10am and 4pm) any Twitter direct messages sent to scribblybot will be read by an industrial robot and written out freestyle on a whiteboard in front of hundreds of visitors to BMW’s Mini Factory in Oxford!
I know that this is a completely useless and redundant thing to spend time developing but it’s my way of bringing Twitter to real life! For once you can post on Twitter and know that people will be watching!
Any messages that are written on the whiteboard will then be re-tweeted to all followers of scribblybot.
A full technical write up will appear here after the event but until then, here is a couple of sneak photo’s of the development! There’s more over at flickr http://flickr.com/gp/mattythorne/f9kY3a.
