How far could you get if you relied only on others?

"Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the right direction, if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, "You can't go that way, it's toward the road. " - http://ping.fm/3DBrM

That thing is adorably cute. I wonder if people would have been so helpful if it were designed to look less friendly.

Yeah, it does the teddy bear eyes and cute friendly face thing. It would be interesting to repeat with something that looked blank or mechanical - or even mean.

That's pretty awesome. And yes, I'm sure the cute helps. But still.
