    Very good Whit! What I find so amazing about that photo rendition is the robot is a scaled up version of Robert the Robot that I had as a kid.

    I like the number "4" on the back of the skinnier robot, reminiscent of the Silent Running drones 1,2, & 3. Even back in 1958, they anticipated needing multiple robots, early proponents of Swarm technology!

    Not only did they anticipate swarming technology, but all three robots have antennae indicating some form of wireless. Another interesting feature is the generic floor robot has a helping hand.
