Meet Chalkbot

Meet Chalkbot, a busy robot you can find churning inspirational tweets and texts into the streets of the Tour De France. This year it’s not only a road filled with bikes, but also a canvas for street art created by the masses. Anyone can be a part of this effort to encourage and inspire no matter where they. All you have to do is send a text or tweet to Chalkbot, and wait for a response confirming the coordinates of your message location. This initiative was created by Nike and Lance Armstrong’s LIVESTRONG, a foundation devoted to fighting cancer. (Sigh) Seeing the streets filled with so many heartfelt messages brings a tear to my shell.
