I wonder how long before someone finds a negative about this

It's not PUSH, so it sucks.

It's just an iPad strapped to a Segway, so it sucks.

How long until Bob CHEAPek charges you $15 to talk to it? See what I did there? CHEAPek? Instead of Chapek. Nailed it.

I say we have until page 2 before someone makes one of those comments unironically.

More like this! Bring back all!

Streetmosphere everywhere.

Also Rock-It the robot who does the State Fair circuit would have been neat to see..Basically he's like the interactive Megatron and Optimus at USH..

Is Showbot still going to have a Tomorrowland emblem on him once he takes up residency in Epcot?

 

[wdwmagic]

We need these guys in Hollywood Studios - would be a great addition to the Muppet Courtyard area

Bob finally realized he doesn't have to pay robots and they are not in a union.

That makes too much sense.

Huh. Was he featured in that movie? I didnt make that connection. Weird tie-in at the time. Even weirder now.

Not as fast as someone ready to complain about if they did, apparently.

Reminds me of some of the smaller robots that WDE wanted to use for atmospheric entertainment in the 90's. Interesting they're playing around with robots again.
