It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 177.

When Robot No. 177 came through the portal and saw that Robot No. 174 is still making pies from their gigantic pumpkin they couldn’t contain their excitement. They started beeping and booping and buzzing about the kitchen talking about how they’d heard of these things called “pies” and how humans have such strong opinions about them and what goes into them and how everyone has their own recipe and they’re all a bit different and how in some places you could even win a blue ribbon for a good pie!

I wasn’t sure we’d ever be able to calm Robot No. 177 down enough to answer some of the questions that were streaming out of them, let alone to sit down and look at a pie. They’re now busy reading through all my cookbooks learning all about baking and pies especially. Every once in a while, they talk to themselves and I can hear them saying things like, “A savoury pie, what?!” as they lean in closer, or “I wonder if coating the crust with chocolate….”

I love how voracious their curiosity is and I’m so glad that once they’re done with my cookbook collection we have the library we can go to! And because they have learned so much about food, they’ve decided to be a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 174

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 174.

Do-Gooder Robot No. 174 is quiet, and is often more of an observer and introvert than in the middle of all the excitement. They quietly came through the portal one day, and are always pleasant and kind, but sometimes it’s a bit easy to miss them if you don’t really see them because they are so quiet. They often follow us along and just take everything in.

Before Halloween, Robot No. 49 and Robot No. 173 were deep in Halloween preparations, and sent a bunch of robots out to the pumpkin patch to get the best possible pumpkins. Somehow it got missed that Robot No. 174 wasn’t with the bunch when they returned.

Turns out Robot No. 174 had gone deep into the patch where the biggest pumpkins were and was deep in thought thinking about all the amazing possibilities these pumpkins held. They missed when everyone else was coming back. Which, actually worked out for them, because they were able to spend so much time deciding which pumpkin was the best. They weren’t upset when they’d realized the others had left, they just started walking home with their gigantic pumpkin.

Unfortunately, we had to break it to Robot No. 174 that they’d missed Halloween, and all the pumpkins had been carved. They looked a little disappointed, but shrugged their shoulders and said that it would still make the best pumpkin treats – like pie, doughnuts, and pudding!

Robot No. 174 wants to be a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen so everyone can have good food to make them feel good when they need it the most.

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 127.

Do-Gooder Robot No. 127 also came through the portal with their pet, and I’ll tell you that my worries about having a dogbot around disappeared when I saw an octobot!

But I took a deep breath and asked some questions – I was mostly concerned about them getting started by our loud house, and dogbot, and leaving oily ink stains around; Robot No. 127 assured me that octobot was well trained – had to be so they could live on the ship!

I was also concerned whether they were rivals of Robot No. 44, Robot No. 58, and Robot No. 59 or not. Luckily, Robot No. 127 did know them, but they were friendly. I’ve learned that robot pirates are ab it less territorial and dramatic than our pirates here.

The joy they bring each other is palpable, and they were inspired to be Do-Gooders for the International Animal Welfare Fund.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 159

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 159.

Robot No. 159 burst through the portal the day they came. They loudly announced they were here and ready to take in all the arts. They had a tiny suitcase that was filled to the brim with art supplies, and they had so many questions about art and artists and many of the things they’d heard of before they came.

I shared my art history books with Robot No. 159 until we could get to a museum, which they devoured. Then at the museum, they were in awe, their eyes big, their gauges blooping and high-pitched.

Robot No. 159 started whispering to themselves about the inspiration, the colours, the feelings, the expressions, the textures, the mediums, the context, the subtext, the different perspectives, the horizon, the sunlight, and the sheer joy it all brings.

It brings me immense joy to share art with Robot No. 159.
