Cardboard is not suitable for most robotics applications.

Plexiglassing it is lame. Defeats the purpose.

8)......... what's the point in street art if greedy bastards are going to frame it for fortune. If it wasn't a banksy piece they wouldn't go through the trouble.

Banksy himself says he expects his pieces to be vandalized or painted over pretty quickly ... just the nature of the beast. Still when I saw that his pieces here in San Francisco had been destroyed by lame-o taggers, it was a real disappointment, especially the Native American comment in Clarion Alley. (SF's Mission District was once an Ohlone village.) Oh well, it's not meant to last.

When he came through New Orleans after Katrina, one of his best works here was painted over in a few days. Others lasted a few months and a handful still exist (only one covered in plexi that I know of).

Actually saying that there was one piece that looked identical to some of banksy's work. It was on the wall of a blockbuster in exeter it was a clown riding a tricycle the time i got down there to take a photo it had been covered never did find out if it was legit or not either.

Could be haters. You ever see some of the shit done to SWOON's stuff after she was in MOMA? I believe there's even a strange documentation of the whole thing going down on youtube.
