A blog about all kinds of vintage technology from simple mechanisms of the late 1800s through electronics and robotics of the 1980s. Many posts will be typecast and some will be off topic bits from everyday life. The blog will wander and meander with my quasi-evolving and ever changing interests.

"R" is for ROBOT Type
The sun was coming into the kitchen just so on Saturday morning. So I put off the ritual grinding of the beans (much to the chagrin of my wife) long enough to grab the camera and bits to have some fun. So hard to pass on good light...
The large type came with a random baggie full of mismatched goodness from an antique mall. My wife was surprised there were enough letters there to make whole words. Try and ignore the dust bunny residue for the moment. The robot is a miniature reproduction of the Radar Robot. The actual Radar Robot deserves his own post at some point in the future.
Radar Robot hadn't had his daily oil fix and was a little grumpy...
The gingercat is not going to be happy about what happened to her nanobugs.
As horrible as this robot rampage seems, there have been far worse in the course of American history:
