DON-8r is unlike other robots. Pronounced as ‘donator’, it is a miniature robot being capable of traveling in public places to collect coins from fellow passers-by. The main source of power for the robot to keep moving is the donation that each passers-by offer. DON-8r goes directly towards a chosen charity trust. Taking its inspiration from the increasingly pessimistic attitude that several people have towards on-the-street charitable trust workers, DON-8r helps raise funds via cheering playful and compassionate support from unfamiliar people and passers-by. In recent times, DON-8r has been impressing shoppers in Dundee, Scotland for raising money as well as creating awareness for Dundee Science Centre. This brilliant robot, designed to be re-branded in order to suit various charities, offers an exclusive platform for charities to connect with people of the community in a fun and unforgettable manner.

Hey watch me smash this thing open and take all the money!
Seriously. This thing is essentially a big piggy bank that (A) moves around, in no implied direction, and (B) is small enough to pick up and run away with!
Since when can you convert charity into electricity.
