I like robots that don’t really do anything useful. Robots that just disturb you.
Dazey by Bill Robertson is such a creature. It is made from cow bones, it roller-skates “mooos, and urinates by radio control.” Unfortunately it looks like Bill’s site is not working so information on this mechanical, corpse bovine is scarce. That’s really too bad because I think we should be filling fields with these things.
One day, I’m going to invent the RO-HOBO. (Not to be confused with the ROBO-HO or the ROBO-PO-MO.) RO-HOBO will just sit around and say: “Spare some change. Thank you, have a good day. Spare some change. Thank you, have a good day.” Occasionally it might yell something like: “The Jewish Freemasons stole my face and sold it to the Catholics!” Its battery will be kept in a brown paper bag and whenever it gets low on power it will attach that bag to its mouth. And, thanks to Dazey, I’ll be sure to use real hobo bones. God knows, I have enough piling up around here.
