Talk:Robots

Robot vs Machine
With the addition of Otto the Automatic Entertainer, I figured we had enough robots to make a page (and I've been increasingly obsessed with the wonderful world of Muppet robots). A general point to raise is whether items like the Automatic Wastebasket, or the talking machine in the "Monster vs. Machine" sketch count as robots. I'm inclined to include them, when/as they get added, but thought it worth discussing here in advance. Since inventions like that to my mind go beyond, say, Muppet Furniture or The Singing Food. They're not just sentient objects, they're objects designed to be intelligent and talk, and like the best Muppet robots, they usually explode or eat someone. This is also a good place to stick any robots that may surafce in the illustrated books, and I'm including both actual puppets and those which might come closer to being considered props. --Andrew, Aleal 02:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
