Chalk up a few more cool points for Nike

This is Chalkbot. He's a homemade machine that writes customized, hopeful messages about cancer survival on the roads of the Tour De France in sidewalk chalk. I'll be right back -- I need to change my pants real quick.

*Cue hold music*

OK, now then -- Thanks Nike, LIVESTRONG and DeepLocal. Your unbelievably cool work made me feel like an untalented, uncreative hack YET AGAIN. Please don't ever, ever stop.

P.S. -- Over/under on days until this thing is hacked and starts repeatedly writing "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US": 3.5

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Super sweet. Except for the fact that they just built a smart robot that can write graffiti -- it's the beginning of the end!

Not hacked, but I give it 5 weeks before it either becomes self-aware or transforms into a sick bicycle.
