Meet the robot helping clean Florida beaches
It's about the size of a golf cart, runs by remote control, and is 100% electric. Be-Bot is its name, and it's a machine built to clean the sands of your neighborhood beach. "The robot is designed to sift a very thin layer of sand and remove small pieces of debris," explained Pat DePlasco, executive director of Keep Pinellas Beautiful." That debris includes the tiny litter often overlooked and left behind; cigarette butts, bottle caps, food wrappers and straws. Be-Bot has been cleaning up the shoreline across Florida, and Monday, made Madeira Beach its latest cleanup shop.
