The document describes a proposed machine called Road Runner that would recycle textiles to provide customized clothing and other textile items to travelers and homeless people. The machine would allow users to deposit old textiles, select new items, and receive customized textiles produced instantly from the deposited materials. A working prototype would be developed using techniques from FabLabs to prove the feasibility. The goal is to address needs for access to clothing while recycling textiles and reducing waste.
