Hey, they make good soufflés


Without a pricetag, we can’t tell what it would be used for.

It’s not very ambitious. I see tons of potential.

And that whole stairs thing is overrated.

As usual, Japan already has one.

And as usual, it comes with a pink-haired catgirl maid.

Daleks are little green blobby dudes operating the shrill postbox like tanks, I was worried when it was said that these robots may be Daleks as this would include an operator within. Like Kenny Baker, or that old chess machine that actually had a grandmaster living inside it.

I thought BB was written by nerds. Its obviously Robby from Forbidden Planet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robby_the_Robot

The designers are scratching their heads, “we were trying to go for a cute R2-D2 look!”

I’m just relieved it’s an AnBot rather than an Anne Droid.

It’s funny, yes
but it’s also a glimpse of the future, of our eventual dehumanization and disempowerment.
This robot is the first step, and the data gathered from it will inform the next “riot control” robot’s design, until we are all utterly powerless against those madmen who live to eat and shit and do nothing of worth.

So within the little person Kenny Baker there is an even smaller operator?
