The host locations are pissed off that the machines are sitting there taking up space and using electricity. They certainly aren't going to be happy with someone opening it up and making a mess. Or potentially creating some sort of additional liability for them.
But if you show up with a van or a large truck, they'd probably pay you money to take the whole thing off their hands. And you can tear it apart in your own garage.
- adolph 2y agoTheres probably lots of great robot disc handler stuff in those boxes.
- Kon-Peki 2y agoThere was an article in some source (sorry, I forget which) that interviewed a person somewhere in the Southeast US that has been paid to remove a dozen or two of them. It had some photos of the inside of the machine. You should look for it!
- pnw 2y agoThere's a Discord where people are sharing ideas on sourcing and modifying the kiosks. https://discord.gg/ZNXy722W5t https://discord.gg/ZNXy722W5t
- dylan604 2y ago> taking up space and using electricity. how hard would it be to unplug the units? if these things are on a shared electrical circuit with anything else in the store, then that's on them. If they are separated, then just flip the breaker. otherwise, there's going to be j-box some where near the thing connected to some conduit. ten gets you twenty that there's some wire nuts in that j-box that could be disconnected in less than a minute. also, just show up with a clipboard, and if anyone asks you, just say you were hired to collect certain items from within but not remove the entire thing. just print up a fake work order. i don't think i'm thinking too far outside the box on this one.
