Oscar - he's our own trash can man. Made from a standard metal trash can and a servo controlled robot hand, Oscar puts trash in its place. An object placed in the robot hand will trigger the mechanism to retract the hand into the trash can and dispose of it properly. Oscar could have been a great boon in the waste disposal industry. The kids at RoboFest certainly love feeding him. When Oscar is around floors remain pretty spotless.
