National Love Your Robot Day!

Whit

February 7, each year, is National Love Your Robot Day! Hypable has a great article from 2013 - Our 10 Favorite Robots in Film and on TV. Click here. What do you think is missing? How about this classic...



In honor of National Love Your Robot Day, 2020, I have programmed my Parallax S3 Robot (in Spin, using Phil Pilgrim's excellent talk_v2 object) to say, "I Love Robots."



And just to be sure you know what brand of Robots I prefer, I have also programmed my S3 to say, "I Love Parallax Robots."



Archived Spin Projects are attached.

Thanks to my friends at Parallax, Inc., for all they do to make these fun projects possible - with the best hardware, coding methods, educational resources, and tech support around!
Thanks to all of you too, who have taught me so much.

Have a great National Love Your Robot Day, and a great weekend!

Best I can do today, I'm sick and swamped, but yes I love my robots, regardless of color or where they come from!

Choose wisely!

Loving these classic bots in a classic car, too! Solid proof that the first self-driving car was a Chevy, Elon!

Another video to fly Team Parallax colors! S2 remains a great robot, and that center hole works a treat for holding flowers. The only problem today was a leaky Duracell battery. The Sunbeams from Dollar Tree actually held up better since last year!

Roomba owners LOVE their robots, at least according to Fox News in 2007. Fake robot news? I can't believe it...

Batteries (cells) seem to leak more than I remember when I was younger... Great Love Your Robot Day stuff, erco!

I used to love my Roomba but it had some parts inside of it I needed : )

Some people REALLY love their Roombas.

Is there an international version of this day?
Maybe!

But "robot" and "cyborgian" in the same thought might hint at a lack of understanding. :-/

Erco,

I hope you showed your love and didn't use Durasmells again.

I promised my wife that in one year I'd present her with a function K9 from first version Dr. Who that she could control with a tablet. Im so screwed.

I must love my robot, why else would I spend so much time and money on her?
