T Shirt - Why Did the Robot Cross the Road?

Whit

Doing some browsing the other day and found this at Cafe Press - Product ID# 41508757. Pretty neat!

Nice find!!

The design on the back seems a little BASIC!

This makes you think there should be GREEN Scribbler 3 "Launch" T-shirts for the faithful....or at least the faithful with $15!!

A fun and oddly specific find! Code needs a 'crossroad' subroutine to answer the riddle though.

Isn't that one of yours on that T-shirt erco? I could have sworn I saw all of them trying to get into a conference I audited yesterday. (regular robots)

There should be code in there, to look both ways first.

Can a robot be given a ticket for jaywalking?

Heater.

Because it wanted to GOTO the other side.

Which no doubt resulted in a crash.

Agreed! If it had a pocket, we could label it as the Pen Port...

If we go with why did the S3 cross the road, the code on the back could be in Blockly! (with all the suggested improvements above)

Resulting in the test a condition tile sending the Scribbler in a different direction momentarily, and then the program loop resumed. See next post...

I was trying to find the punchline on the shirt, and here you had it all along.

Geeky T shirts (even tank tops) look a lot better when modeled by a girl, even though only guys buy them. Must be a connection.

You'd be surprised.

Take a few guesses as to who invented it.

Whit made some beautiful custom long sleeve T-shirts for Red Sea Robotics, which was probably a fair amount of work and up-front money. If you want a zero-effort one-off item with your logo or photograph, look no further than your local Walmart photo center. I had a coffee mug done which turned out awesome. They do shirts, too. Just upload your image to their site and click order. Only about $11-20 based on options. I got the "red photo mug" and the image wraps around the whole mug. Delivered for free to my local store in just a couple days.

Not sure about the robot, but I do know why the monkey crossed the road.

Because he was stapled to a chicken.

Hello!
Um no. The reference was for a totally different style of T-shirt, not the ones there so therefore you need to take a different guess.

Another place to have stuff printed with your picture/logo, is Zazzle.com. They'll print on just about anything, and everything I've gotten from them has looked great.

I could end that streak by uploading my photo!
