Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 177

via GIPHY

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

via GIPHY

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.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 127

via GIPHY

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.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Do-Gooder Robot No. 77

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 77.

I know when Robot No. 77 has been editing the grocery list—there’s always butter, chocolate chips, and oats added. It’s really hard to not pick the items up though, Robot No. 77 is a very sweet robot, who has a very sweet tooth! 

Plus, they always help make the cookies, and it’s a lot of fun making cookies for our very full household! There’s always lots of giggles and lots of music. We end up having big conversations about what the best cookie flavour is, and who makes the best peanut butter, and whether fruit belongs in cookies or not.

We hadn’t fully explained the tradition of leaving cookies out for Santa on Christmas Eve to Robot No. 77 though. They ended up eating Santa’s cookies because they cannot resist a good cookie right out of the oven, especially when there’s a cold glass of milk to accompany it!

And that’s why Robot No. 77 wants to be a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen, so everyone has cookies when they need them the most.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 15

via GIPHY

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 15.

I saw Robot No. 15 fumbling with a paper map and mumbling to themselves. I asked if I could help, but they didn’t hear me because they were grumbling under their breath about coordinates and distances. I managed to get their attention and ask again.

They took a deep breath and asked me where my heart was. I pointed to my chest, but frowned because I gathered we weren’t talking about the same thing. They shook their head no, and told me that they were told “Home is where the heart is!” and couldn’t find it on the map. They were looking for our address, but there were no icons in the legend for hearts. They asked, “Does that mean this isn’t a home?”

I replied, “Of course it’s a home! There’s no icon on the map, because the map can’t tell what we have built here. We all live here, we all love one another, and we’re a team. This is one bustling home that is built on love, so it’s definitely where the heart is.”

I also tried to explain that the saying is usually used when people are homesick, or moving a lot. That a home might not be where the roof over your head is, but instead where your family is, or the place of your fondest memories.

Robot No. 15 took a deep breath, and felt relieved. They do feel that our house is a home, and that they would likely think of this idiom if they were to travel away from it. They have such a big heart for a robot with no actual heart.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 21

via GIPHY

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to Supermurgitroid Robot No. 21.

One day after a late night at a concert, Robot No. 21 was talking to Robot No. 16 and misunderstood what was said. Next thing I knew, Robot No. 21 was walking around telling everyone they weren’t to take any bullshirt from anyone.

I asked what they were talking about, and I tried to sort it out with them, but they were adamant that they were right. They even went out and bought this t-shirt, and it’s now one of their favourite concert shirts. They mean so well, but they really are confused about it. I’ve suggested they look into some ear plugs to wear when they go to all their concerts, because I don’t think we can replace their hearing elements with Earthly robot parts.

Robot No. 21 has one of the biggest robot hearts I’ve ever met. They rock-out with passion, and they care about everyone with intensity like I’ve never seen.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 37

via GIPHY

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!

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 155

via GIPHY

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!
