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

via GIPHY

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

via GIPHY

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.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 138

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce Supermurgitroid Robot No. 138.

Robot No. 138 got a bit caught up in the whirlwind created by Robot No. 70, Robot No. 73, and Robot No. 137. They read “T’was the Night Before Christmas” countless times, memorized so many carols, and stares at the snow with wide-eyed amazement. They’ve tried to learn all they can about reindeer, the North Pole, and traditions around the world. They’ve taken to the one Santa decoration, and often carries it around the house. They are often found sitting in front of the tree together, or if it’s snowing, in the window.

I can’t wait to see Robot No. 138’s face Christmas Eve when we follow NORAD as it tracks Santa’s trip!

Supermurgitroid Robot No. 138 is available on Threadless Artist Shop and on my Square site as a greeting card, (you can let me know if you’d like them on other items)! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Introducing Do-Gooder Supermurgitroid Robot No. 151

via GIPHY

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce Supermurgitroid Robot No. 151 who is a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen.

Not long after Do-Gooder Robot No. 151 arrived, we were walking in one of our neighbourhoods with a lot of little boutiques, they stopped mid-step in front of one of the windows. I almost missed they’d stopped it happened so fast!

They were stuck in awe for a moment, and almost couldn’t hear me asking what was so good. But then I saw we were in front of a bakery with a big display of doughnuts. They had all the flavours you could imagine, plus a few more! So many colours and textures!

Robot No. 151 begged me to go inside so we could get some. The smell inside was so comforting, I was a bit sad that robots can’t smell, but seeing the look on Robot No. 151’s face told me they didn’t miss out on anything!

We got a box of doughnuts to take home and show the others. The whole way, Robot No. 151 kept the box lid open and inspected each doughnut with such admiration and awe. When I told them doughnuts were a bit of a luxury, they were aghast. And that’s when they decided to be a Do-Gooder for World Central Kitchen, so that everyone can have good comforting food when they need it the most.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 42

via GIPHY

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to my Supermurgitroid friend, Robot No. 42.

Robot No. 42 has so many references to our Dracula! Count Orlak, Bela Lugosi, Moonlight, and so many more! It boggles my mind how they put it all together.

They love the lore about garlic warding off vampires. They despise the smell of garlic — raw or cooked — and we often giggle that they truly are a vampire through and through. Whenever there’s a blood moon, Robot No. 42 stands at the window admiring it, lost in thought. I am always so curious where their mind goes during those times, but it’s such a private moment I never want to interrupt. Someday I will ask, until then, it’s another mark on the calendar that we know is a special day.

Visit my Threadless Artist Shop and you can enjoy many moons with Robot No. 42! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.

Introducing Supermurgitroid Robot No. 107

It’s R Day my friends, and I would like to introduce you to my Supermurgitroid friend, Robot No. 107.

Robot No. 107 was so excited to be included in the activities for the first week of school. Their eyes got so big when they learned about school photos and how there can be different backgrounds. They looked on the internet for different examples, but weren’t finding quite what they had in mind. They asked to see some of my school photos and their jaw dropped when they saw my grade three photo. They insisted on using that background, and they couldn’t be more excited about sharing this photo with all their friends!

Visit my Threadless Artist Shop and you can pretend like you’re at the laser party with Robot No. 107! Join the Supermurgitroid family, where every robot has a story, and every story inspires change.
