POPS
Tweenbots – silly, sweet... and heartening
Lexica

 Sweet in a non-cloying way, and a reminder of the basic inherent generosity and goodness of people. More: The results were unexpected. Over the course of the following months, throughout numerous missions, the Tweenbots were successful in rolling from their start point to their far-away destination assisted only by strangers. Every time the robot got caught under a park bench, ground futilely against a curb, or became trapped in a pothole, some passerby would always rescue it and send it toward its goal. Never once was a Tweenbot lost or damaged. Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the “right” direction, if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road.”

 Conceived as an experiment in how people react to their environment, the 10" tall cardboard robot can only move in a straight line. Strangers would stop and assist the robot when hung up against an obstacle to continue on its way.
