Speech-controlled garbage can makes trash fun again

Have you ever stared at a garbage can and wished you could command it to come towards you? No? Then you may still be interested in this new speech-controlled trash can built by DIY-er Amnon, which will respond to your beck and call yet never stray beyond the safe confines of your carefully laid out tape route (sure to complement any room). Unfortunately, there isn't a step-by-step guide for building a little trash buddy of your own, but Amnon has provided a shot of the all-important underside (linked below), and a complete parts list, so it shouldn't be too hard for experienced folks to follow along. Head on past the break for the video.

[Benhur @ Apr 6th 2009 8:07AM]

It took me just a glance at the photo to immediately know that this is from Israel, and I dont think any other country in the world can be recognized by its floor tiles.

[JCastle482 @ Apr 6th 2009 8:33AM]

The heading should say:
"Speech-controlled garbage can makes trash talk fun again"

[Magallanes @ Apr 6th 2009 10:09AM]

Is funny until a "good guy" find a military use for this machine.
