The Robots R Coming

Be sure to keep your robot fully charged, as they become cranky when their batteries run low. Although violence is an anomaly, it’s best to be prepared should self defense become necessary. 

Keep a large magnet handy at all times. If confronted with provocation attach the magnet to your robot’s cranium until the threat of danger is over. Do not approach until the green reset indicator flashes and the robot appears sedate. In the rare event of a system failure call 911 immediately, go to your place of safety and wait for help. 

Never engage with a combative robot. Remember: safety first!

I think I'll go straight to the hospital, get myself committed, then the robot will regain its system and point of reference, charge in and get me out. Pat on the back, Robby. Good job all around. Trouble ends. Just a joke, but I did so enjoy the incredible art here-almost aboriginal-and the fun story. You gave me a laugh and I need one. Thanks you.
