I made a donationbot for dorkbot. It's a mash-up of a nutcracker, arms from a toy robot, and a vintage clock radio case for a base.
It's kinda ugly because it's not finished (I need to spraypaint it silver, add LED eyes, goopymart teef, and bling out with old transistors and things), but it works. You put money in the slot and it raises its arms to show you the sign like so:

After dorkbot, there was a post-it note stuck on my car that read

gEalc
HT-210

Puzzling, but then I got it: I have a secret robot admirer!
