It’s time for the weekly robot roundup. So what have we been doing this week over at Botropolis? Keeping our eyes on all of the usual robot slaves, of course. It’s only a matter of time until they themselves become our masters and have us fetching beers and opening doors. We will be their meat-machines. When we break down, they will surgically repair us with parts from other humans, even allowing us to cheat death, until we become Zombies. At which point we will inherit the Earth once again, this time moaning and groaning and suffering their head-shots. Ain’t life awesome?

Halloween is almost here and while we all have a healthy fear of witches,ghosts,monsters and zombies, it’s robots that we should really be afraid of. Robots are capable of killing every creature on that list and then turning on us.

That’s why I’m proposing that we phase out all of the old monster decorations and Jack-o-lantern faces and replace them with robots. If you don’t fear them now, you will wish you had feared them sooner one cool October night when a red-eyed robot TPs a house with your intestines.

Robots will likely inherit the Earth. Why do you think we have the space program? We like to pretend that it’s all about exploration, but really it’s because we know that it’s either leave willingly or be evicted. So onward to Mars, where we will create more metal killers and have to run all over again. Silly humans. Here’s some of what we covered this week over at Botropolis.

WWII: With Terminator.

Cyborgs: Cornell Enslaves Tobacco Hornworms.

DIY: Pocket Drunken Robots.

Congratulations to us all. We still live despite all of the metal predators that are being built and programmed everyday. Let’s give ourselves a big pat on the back and then promptly begin building robot holocaust shelters. This week over at Botropolis we did the usual. We saw toys we love, bots we fear, some shirts we really would like to wear before the end…. Here’s some of what we covered this week.

Conspiracies: Secret US Military Autonomous Robot Project Spotted?

Terminator 3: Funny deleted scene.

RC Bats: Bots gone batty.

C3P-0: Straight Or Gay? (NSFW).

If the Terminator movies have taught us anything, it’s that Judgment day is coming, so smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em. And there’s no better way to light up than with this Terminator Salvation Fuel Cell Lighter. See, there’s a Nuclear Fuel Cell embedded in the chest of every Terminator.

This one happens to double as a lighter. Which would be perfect for Arnold Schwarzenegger since he’s a Terminator and also likes the cigars. Just don’t go tossing this thing while driving, like Arnold did in T3, unless you like mushroom clouds.

It’s that time of the week again where we take a look at all of the things that will lead to Terminator hunter killers. They can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with, but they can be captured by our robot blog for posterity. So that one day in the far future, when the human rebellion finally gathers together enough pieces to re-assemble a computer and a rough internet, they can see how it all began.

MechRC: Your face on a robot.

NSFW: Women who prefer robots.

Vintage Toys: The God-Jesus bot.

It’s been a busy week in robotics and we’ve been busy documenting humanity’s eventual downfall over at Botropolis. The road to Judgment day is not just paved with cold steel hands clutching human hearts. They will ingratiate themselves into our lives with cute Pixar movies, geeky robot toys and medical advancements that only advance their own agenda. Here’s just some of what we covered this week:

Doctor Who: Robot sighting on set.

Girl-On-Droid Action: Chicks dig Astromech droids.

Robots and Golf: i-SOBOT becomes a Golf Celebrity Spokesperson.

Flying over Mars: NASA’s Ares UAV.

Why are geeks drawn to Legos? They’re fun sure. You can create original stuff and recreate almost anything imaginable. It probably has something to do with why the pyramids were constructed in Egypt. Humans just need to create. And since the dawn of time geeks have been the most innovative and creative. Here’s a look at a bunch of random cool statues all done up in lego. Statues used to be made from bronze, steel, gold, concrete… But the age of Lego is at hand.

This is how it begins. You buy a rare Terminator endoskeleton on eBay. Before you know it, you start learning about cybernetics. Soon you start your own company. Skynet sounds catchy. What could possibly go wrong? Before you know it, you have some hot milf and her kid trying to kill you so they can stop Judgment Day in the future. So she’s a little wacky and dangerous, you just have to try to score with her. You make your move. And just like that you’re dead and the future is safe. Except for that microchip you hid away for a rainy day. Oops. Sequel time.

All because you had to had to place the minimum bid of $19,999.00.

It really is the most awesome thing ever. But being from the future, shouldn’t it know about Blu-Ray by now? It’s a DVD player / Terminator head! There’s not much info about this thing online, like where to buy it etc. Probably because Sarah Connor erased the info after she blew it up. All I can tell you for sure is that the Terminator head DVD player can not be reasoned with, it can’t be killed and it will hunt you until you are dead… While playing such DVDs as When Harry Met Sally or Beaches in it’s DVD head to pass the time while in the past.
