    • Even robots sometimes get down in the dumps and have to scrounge for a living. Though this reminds me of something from the Futurama universe, Teikjoon sets this lovely little vignette in the Star Wars universe, where — on a planet embargoed by the Trade Federation — unemployed robots “choose to stay operational, scavenging for energy packs”:

      The robot reminds me of the one on the cover of the Guns ‘n’ Roses album “Appetite for Destruction”… Crutch and the torso face are absolutely inspired, and once again I am green with envy of such imagination.

      The concept is also reminiscent of A.I. and I, Robot (the movies). I love the torso as head–brilliant!

      Reminds me most of Tinny Tim from Futurama.
      Excellent!

      The crutch is perfect parts usage.

      Next time you mention Futurama, you should totally link my site, The Infosphere. Especially if you mention a specific topic, like the above commenter mentioned Tinny Tim, then people could read about it, and be awesome.

      Okay, I’m going back to just silently reading this blog now…
