Instead of littering, unlucky gamblers of Tokyo’s Edogawa Kyotei boat race can have a little fun by feeding their losing tickets to a robotic goat. Besides reducing littering, the goatkeeper says, “It eats up your frustrations so that you will have better luck with the next race.” — so there’s a goatkeeper for a robotic goat? The 1.6-meter tall robotic goat munch around 500 tickets everyday, with the help of ticket-detecting sensors in its mouth. (pinktentacle via gizmodo)
