A robot for those who build robots......

When will it vacuum my house?

Chariset		2012-06-09 12:23:37 PM

I wanted an actual robotic Sheldon. Damn you, submitter! *shakes fist*

Oh, man, I would LOVE one of those.

It's just not the same without the t-shirt.

It looks like it could be thwarted by a thick throw rug.

I say hook one million of them up to a much smarter computer and have learn how to do tasks on a much larger scale.

T-shirt and coat hanger sold seperately.

Does it come with its own laugh track?

Probably a cyborg cock it can suck.

From what I know, the "Sheldon-bot" (Texai) has been used by the company that developed it for years. It's just becoming well-known due to the show.

Behold!

This may be one of the first for the general market, however.

While I enjoy The Big Bang Theory, I feel like it must be how black people felt watching Amos and Andy.

BigJake		2012-06-09 03:58:55 PM

One of the worst shows out there, hth

Hector Remarkable		2012-06-09 03:59:09 PM

But what about the love? They've built an iRobot, but somewhere along the line they forgot about the love.

Bazinga!

So, it's like a roomba, but this won't clean anything up? Although, I suppose you could tie a broom to the back of it... Really not sure what potential this has for the general market beyond novelty or the next groundbreaking Gizmodo article where someone's put a picture of Sheldon's face on the iPhone attached to it.

And yeah, I've found the show to be highly switch-offable. Give me IT Crowd any day of the week, that's funny and genuinely geekish.

\HGH

TXEric		2012-06-09 04:54:48 PM

Meh. Love the show, however, call me when they market a Penny Bot.

/Anatomically correct.

And we're done here. I wanted to like that show, but the few times I tried to watch it the laugh track was absolutely hideous.

Really? Black people watched Amos and Andy and laughed themselves comatose because it was an awesome spoof of themselves and their closest friends?

Yeah, I'm *really* looking forward to "mobile kiosks" pestering me in every store.
