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!

Supermurgitroid Robot No. 155 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.

Take care and thank you for being here,

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.

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.
