Man Spends 3 Years Building Giant Robot to Fight Plastic Pollution in the Great Lakes, Forgets to Waterproof It, AITA?

TL;DR: Local hero/absolute clown invents a 40-foot transformer to scoop trash out of Lake Michigan. Only problem? He built it out of cardboard and duct tape. Now it’s a soggy, $50k pile of recycling. Reddit, am I the idiot for thinking this was a good idea, or is the EPA just jealous of my alpha energy?
