-This short animation is about a sidewalk cleaning robot, Hydro Scrub 4000.
-During a lazy Sunday afternoon, this little robot is seen cleaning a small sidewalk.
-After cleaning a couple of littered pieces of trash and seeming very bored, the robot comes across a chewed piece of gum stuck on the ground…and so began the most troubling cleanup for this robot.
-Thinking it is going to be another boring clean-up, the robot goes ahead and cleans, but it does not work the way the Hydro Scrub hoped.
-Surprised, the robot tries again and fails…again…
-Now, the robot is growing impatient and angry at the piece of gum, so he tries his hyper speed cleaning mode, which is partially spinning his scrubs extra fast and going over the trash with zooming speeds.
-When hyper speed mode fails, he tries brute force mode, which, strangely, is just yanking at the thing with a tiny claw from its tool compartment. After yanking and failing, the robot switches to more fiery methods.
-He whips out his flamethrower from his tool compartment and torches the gum with no remorse. However, this only makes it worse by having the gum melt solidly onto the sidewalk panel.
-Now mad with rage and fury the robot tries his last ditch effort to “clean” the sidewalk. So he whips out his jackhammer from his tool compartment and goes to town on that sad little sidewalk panel.
-There is now smoke and debris flying around everywhere as the robot tears the sidewalk to shreds.
-When the madness and mayhem subside, the Hydro Scrub robot is revealed once more and this time he is hovering over a destroyed sidewalk panel WITH…no gum to be found.
-Pleased, the robot regains his pride and honor as a sidewalk cleaner and makes ready to clean some more trash, but…as he turns around to be on his merry way we can see remnants of the gum all over his back.
