HitchBOT's co- creators say they have been overwhelmed with support and offers to revive the child- sized robot since it was destroyed Saturday and they are considering rebuilding it. The robot was on a hitchhiking adventure in the U. S. after successful ventures in Canada and parts of Europe that saw strangers help hitchBOT travel from place to place while checking items off its bucket list. This time, hitchBOT was dismembered before it could complete its goals - which included taking a selfie with the Hollywood sign and seeing the house from Pixar's Up . Frauke Zeller of Ryerson University and David Smith of McMaster University created hitchBOT and kept its adventures going as a social experiment with a number of their students. Zeller said many people have reached out with offers to rebuild hitchBOT, and her team will make a decision on whether or not they will bring the robot back to life in coming days. " We were taken quite by surprise because it's been going so well so far," she said. " We don't really know what to do, so we have to sit down with the whole team and really see where we are and what can be done." She said she knows the news has been heartbreaking for many of hitchBOT's fans, children and adults alike. Since word got out, thousands of supporters have taken to social media to express their sadness and outrage: " I am incensed. I hope the perpetrators are found and punished. Long live the good memories. Hope to see you reincarnated soon!" wrote one Twitter user. " If I could drive, I would have personally helped you across the U. S. and kept you safe," added another. Smith said the robot's destruction is the exception to " many, many" unsupervised encounters that hitchBOT has had with strangers. During its short- lived U. S. trip, the adventurous hitchBOT attended a Red Sox game - even donning a jersey over its cylindrical body - and took a ride on a New York City subway. Smith said hitchBOT even had some good times in Philly, attending an extended family picnic at a park and being taken in by a well- known YouTuber who set the robot up for its next ride. It was then that the innocent hitch- BOT met its demise. " We've always asked, in the context of this project: ' Can robots trust humans?' " Smith said. " And, you know, we would say at this point, mostly." - The Canadian Press By Cara McKenna There may be life in robot yet Creators may rebuild mechanical hitchhiker so U. S. trip can resume STEPHAN SAVOIA / THE CANADIAN PRESS FILES HitchBOT didn't fare well in Philly. TEVIOTDALE, Ont. - Weather experts say a tornado ripped through a southwestern Ontario community Sunday night, tearing the roof from a bungalow and damaging several police cars. Environment Canada issued a statement that said the violent winds of up to 220 kilometres per hour occurred in Teviotdale, northwest of Kitchener. It said the tornado left about nine kilometres of damage, including destroying the exteriors of two homes, ripping through barns, wrecking cars and downing trees and power lines. Video footage showed some cruisers with windshields caved in that were parked at the North Wellington detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. The tornado touched down at about 9 p. m. amid an extreme bout of rain, wind and hail in southwest and southern Ontario that knocked out power to tens of thousands. Marina Koumarelas with the Teviotdale Truck Stop says she was at work when the tornado happened. She said main roads were closed about half an hour after the wind touched down, and some had still not reopened by Monday afternoon. " It was very scary," she said. Wellington County officials said the tornado caused damage in the town of Minto and Wellington North Township, but there were no reports of injuries. The mayor of North Wellington, Andy Lennox, met with some of the hardest hit residents and said the storm caused extensive damage. " Damage is significant," he said in a news release. " It would be safe to say it will be in the millions of dollars." Hydro workers were working Monday to restore power to the last of about 50,000 Ontarians who were in the dark after storms a day earlier. - The Canadian Press No injuries after Ontario twister A_ 10_ Aug- 04- 15_ FP_ 01. indd A10 8/ 3/ 15 9: 36: 37 PM ;
