SERBIA AND NATO ARE CREATING A ROBOT! Its name is T-WREX, and this is what it's capable of!

Instead of charging their mobile phones on the City square with solar energy, the solar charger serves as a billeting board to the unscrupulous citizens, who put on the solar tree anything, from the chicken selling adds, to invitations to various events. 

Solar tree, which was designed so the citizens could charge their batteries on their mobile phones, and use the possibility to surf the internet for free via mt:s network, has been a target for hooligans on multiple occasions, they ripped the cables for mobile charging and it all lost its purpose.

In the past year, no one from the authorities thought of changing the ripped cables, while some of the citizens started using the solar tree as a bulletin board. "Broilers for sale", "Apartment for rent, cheap", are some of the adds that are on the solar charger in the center of Valjevo!

Even thou the solar tree is only 10 meters from the city house, where communal police is stationed, no one thought if stopping the hooligans all these years, nor replace the ripped cables with new one. The tree was placed in Valjevo in October 2012, a year later after citizens of Belgrade got their charges. So the solar charger Strawberry tree five meters tall has been placed in downtown Valjevo.

First public solar charger in the world was invented by young experts from Serbia, who won first place in the competition "Sustainable energy week" in Brussels.

Milos Milisavljevic is the founder and the director of strawberry energy, and while revealing the solar tree in Valjevo four years ago he said that 165.000 people charge their phones a year in Serbia, and the energy saved is enough to bake 6.000 pancakes, for everyone in Indonesia to send a SMS message, or to watch all three parts of the movie "The Lord of the Rings" 84 times.
