Maestro


Robots are so cool! And not just because 'Rob' is in the word. I think the word also comes from the Czech or Slovak for serf, I guess that's robota or robotnik. Then there's that RUR guy Karel Capek who used it in its present meaning.
Anyways. Despite being so excellent, they're a huge pain to draw. As you can see I gave up above.
On the news the other day there was a Honda robot conducting an orchestra. I mean neat! If kids nowadays won't grow up with any appreciation of culture, at least the machines created in man's image will. I'm maybe getting a little excited. But I guess I just wish that I had a plasma cannon for a right arm. That could be inconvenient in the shower, so it's probably for the best.
