Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 37

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 37.

I’d often find Robot No. 37 out on the patio looking up at the sky – day or night. They’d be holding their rocket, sometimes they’d zoom it around, but mostly they’d just be holding it close to them, as a child would hold a stuffed animal.

They surprised me one day and asked, How does one get to space? I explained that usually one would go through NASA’s program. They went online and started looking into it. They got discouraged when they saw that the program is for humans only. So instead, we bought a telescope; now they can still sit on the patio and dream about space, but with their telescope they can have more detail.

They’ll often come running inside to grab the nearest one of us, so we can go and see a meteor falling, Saturn’s rings, or specific craters on the moon. I love that they share these moments with us!

Supermurgitroid Robot No. 37 is available on Threadless Artist Shop and on my Square site as a greeting card! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 155

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 155.

Robot No. 155 has been spending time with Robot No. 40, Robot No. 89, and Robot No. 123, and they couldn’t be happier! When they’re feeling stressed, they go and tend to the plants. Sometimes I walk past and hear them talking gently to the plants. They are really quick to recommend it to anyone else in the house who’s feeling stressed too.

I’m so glad we have a house full of green-thumbed robots because having house plants definitely makes the place nicer, and a lot more calming!

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 87

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 87.

Robot No. 87 is a bit of an innovator, inventor, and history buff. They heard that some of their ancestors relied on a technology that forced them to be wound up to work for a short period of time. This kind of boggled their mind. So much effort for such a short period of time! Robot No. 87 wondered how much work they were able to get done in such a short spurt of energy.

They got to work in the workshop. They worked out a retro-fit for their bodice and technology so they could hook up a winding key to their system. It doesn’t force them to shut down when the energy from the winding key is used, but a timer goes off and they go back to using their regular system.

It gives them a very good window to the past, showing them just how quick a few blinks flies by. They now understand why their ancestors worked differently, and likely why technology has advanced this far. Robot No. 87 is grateful they were able to get this glimpse. They’d love to share more tales about how they fancy to adapt this system to work with renewable energy, but I’ll save that for another time.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 120

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce Supermurgitroid Robot No. 120.

Robot No. 120 is a sensitive observer, and a people watcher. They are quiet and always attentive. They are curious, inquisitive, and digest so many things—more than we even know, I’m sure.

It’s obvious when Robot No. 120 gets drawn into something they find interesting because their eyes begin to sparkle, the whizzes and bangs of their internal gears speed up, and their gauges begin to whir and tick. Everything seems to move quicker, but yet they’re still calm and gentle.

It’s so interesting to me that we all find it so mesmerizing even though it happens so often because they’re SO curious! Proves how gentle and engaging Robot No. 120 is that we are all so invested.

Supermurgitroid Robot No. 120 is available on Threadless Artist Shop and on my Square site as an art print! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.
