All ‘bots, all the time

“Mama, can you look up for me what kind of parts I need to build a robot? I want to build one that fights evil. I also want to build a robocop suit so I can be a robotic policeman. I’ll make a lot of robocop suits so we can have a robocop society. I want some of my friends to come over so we can talk about robot ideas. I’m determined to become a robotics master. I need my sketchpad so I can draw some robot ideas. Someday I’ll make a book about all the robots I’ve made. I’m going to make technology years and years before it should be made. After I’ve made my own robot, I’m going to start with making a miniature Dalak that’s programmed to only fight evil. So it’s like a robot cop. But even better is going to be my version of the robocop suit: RoboCop 2.0.”
