Robot Goat Eats Rubbish

At Tokyo’s Edogawa Kyotei boat race course, gamblers used to throw their losing tickets on the floor.

However, a genius invented this robot goat, which has been programmed to “eat” the tickets you place in its mouth.

Feeding the thing is more satisfying than littering, so it therefore keeps the floors cleaner.

Its a great idea which builds on the image of goats eating anything, and I’d love to think this would work on the streets (of London). Sadly, these things would be more likely to be “adapted” by Banksy wannabees (grafitti-branded) at best, or simply broken or stolen.
