Can drones collect litter? Only om another planet. Here is an idea for a garbage collection children's toy lightsaber disco party stick which beeps and makes collecting into a game.
If children had a stick which has video game sound effects, and counts items and weight of litter collected, a stick that runs on android and makes litter collection exciting, perhaps it would actually be more like a hobby than a chore for people, including children, to have litter collection days.
- Makes zapping sound effects when you impale/grab a rubbish, Opens source SFX schemes so that you can have thousands of electro-sounds on the same toy and can change theme depending on mood and age and so on.
- Makes R2D2 warbles when it analyses what you have found and reads/displays a points rating for the rubbish's environmental impact:
Bottle - 10 points.
Wrapper - 5 points
Plastic bag - 5 points
Can - 10 points
- Could use the android display to take pictures of all the litter collected, and then the government can safely put in a payment scheme for verified litter collected (because people would earn money from pillaging bins otherwise!) Parent's should be able to reward their children for garbage collection.
- Virtualization: Could make the litter appear in iridescent colors with various color filters in the android screen and make it flash a bit... The most boring thing about litter is it's inanimate, floppy, cheap, rubbishy appearance. We need rubbish to flash and pulsate when you pick it up?
- Shining colored light from the end of the stick onto the rubbish? A focused beam of 5-6 flashing color leds can make the collection fun, into a veritable video game... the litter flashes blue green red very fast and becomes a small disco party.
- Vibrate handle because we are aiming to have a maximum fun toy.
- The stick would need to have a spike and a grabber for soft and hard ground.
- Always keep them in the car, so they could recharge of a car-USB, and would be available when family goes for a walk and when kid needs to run around near the car.
- Give them a secondary use as a light saber... using the lights and things, you can make patterns in the night, make them more glamorous. A disco-party- light-saber -eco-friendly invention. If you collect rubbish, you also recharge ammo for the stick, and then you can shoot stuff from it.
- The collection arm/spike of the litter stick has to be very versatile and fun so have to inspire ourselves from actual top of the range litter collection sticks.
- compressing rubbish is fun and it is boring to carry a bag around to put rubbish in, so that element needs consideration too.
One for IndieGoGo? maybe? seems like a sensible project at first glance.
