Spacerobots

Awesome typewriter robots:

Secret robots, out-of-the-garage robots, space robots, and terrestrial robots – who are you supporting this November?

In a recent poll of robots in my neighborhood (namely my driveway), there was an overwhelming support for Barack Obama over John McCain. Just look at how the driveway robot is beaming, “Yes we can.” Or is that, “10100011110101001?”
