Q - Has Bobot been exposed to much human culture while residing in your basement? What I mean is have you educated him at all about the way the world works, etc... or simply left a tv/radio on sometimes :/ ?

A - A truly phenomenal thing has happened on this front, actually-- Bobot has almost instantly understood from day 1 what it means to be human. He is often whimpering in the corner, lamenting humanity's inherrent burden of being completely alone in the universe. Attempts at consolation only make matters worse, and I can only imagine he perhaps has a greater understanding than I can possibly comprehend on this point. Regardless, the situation makes makes me so grateful for the opportunity to see a real order in life. Bobot was given to us to teach us the great truths about the universe, and ourselves. I am eternally humbled that he was chosen to do so in my basement.

Q - Does Bobot move? If so, is he autonomous? I am having issues regarding your classification of him as a robot. On a related matter, have you observed the three laws of robotics? Please respond ASAP.

A - Yes, of course Bobot moves-- he can run, jump, hide, and cry. I would say that he is most akin to a small nervous cocker spaniel (in my experience with the breed). I still have yet to have him classified as a sentient being, as research teams refuse to visit him here, and I have qualms about letting him loose. The basement has been all he's known for his 23 short weeks of life, and any major change to that could cause serious damage to his different multicatheter judgment microblocks. I do however welcome anyone interested in visiting. Contact me for more information.
