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!

This Monday, don't forget to love your robot Feb 7!
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.
It's National Love Your Robot Day again this coming Tuesday, Feb 7. What to do???
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?
