When hitchBOT the hitchhiking robot started his journey in Boston two weeks ago he wanted to see the entire country. Unfortunately, he never made it out of the Northeast. The researchers who built hitchBOT announced today that they need to stop the experiment because hitchBOT was vandalized in Philadelphia.

From the researchers who built hitchBOT:

hitchBOT’s trip came to an end last night in Philadelphia after having spent a little over two weeks hitchhiking and visiting sites in Boston, Salem, Gloucester, Marblehead, and New York City. Unfortunately, hitchBOT was vandalized overnight in Philadelphia; sometimes bad things happen to good robots. We know that many of hitchBOT’s fans will be disappointed, but we want them to be assured that this great experiment is not over. For now we will focus on the question “what can be learned from this?” and explore future adventures for robots and humans.

The goal of the hitchhiking trip was to see how humans would interact with hitchBOT. And apparently the answer was “not well.” HitchBOT has been around the world, including trips across the entirety of Canada and Germany without major incident. But America is clearly a hard land for our robot brothers and sisters.

The damn thing made it across Canada and a few countries in Europe with nary a hitch.

Way to go, 'Merica--you killed him, raped him, decapitated him, and stole his brains.

I knew he had no chance in the U.S.

That is so terrible. Made it across Canada with no issues.

We are a country of assholes.

Just imagine what Japan would've done to him.

Probably would've came back as a transformer.

And we're going to have the balls to act all offended when the robots do that to us one day.

An upvote for you Sir.

Even though I realize you are simply creating Internet evidence of your subservience to ensure personal survival when our robot masters take over.

Why not reboot and start in the South? It was doomed to fail from the beginning, by design.
