Simone Gertz Shitty Robots Reddit

If you love watching technology malfunction, look no further than the subreddit /r/shittyrobots.

The rules are simple: submit a gif or video showing a less-than-stellar robot in the midst of a miserable failure.

Though this isn't the first subreddit of its kind, "Sh*tty Robots" has the added benefit of being visually hilarious while also giving peeks at potential capabilities of robotics in the near future.

From food dispensers to garbage trucks, scroll down for a look at the best of the worst.

The subreddit was created in June 2014. After one week, the community already had 5,000 subscribers. Today, /r/shittyrobots boasts 105,000 members.
