Vote Today


With all of the politics going around, we should -- at the very least -- vote who our robot overlords should be.  So, go vote for your favorites in the Robot Hall of Fame.  The robocalypse is bound to begin at one of their induction ceremonies.

Dwayne's Wednesday Robot Romper Room


"The Cooker" (aka the robot cooker character):  The Cooker is the robot found on the moon in the 1989 Wallace and Gromit adventure A Grand Day Out. It is not bad enough to look like an oven but to have two trespassers come along and start vandalizing and littering up his home -- the moon -- is too much. Finally, the poor robot comes to realize that he could live out his dream of skiing if only he can hitch a ride back to Earth with the interlopers. Unfortunately, Wallace and Gromit escape from the moon with a rocket full of moon-cheese and leaving behind the Cooker and some scrap metal. Making lemonade out life's lemons the robot fashions his skis out from the debris left behind from the rocket.
