Walter’s Excellent “51 Robots” Shirt
May 3rd, 2008 by Wadical WeftWalter, of Fractal Fame, wore an excellent t-shirt to the Baloney gathering yesterday. It had the silhouettes of 51 different famous robots. Of course the Baloneys had to swarm around Walter and try to identify the various images. As we stared intently at his chest, he remarked “This must be how women feel”. We identified a few and insisted he send us a link to the shirt source (Click here to see because I’m about to copyright violate).
Here is the shirt image:
I can’t find a list of the robot names, so I’ve numbered the images and am hoping Baloney.Com readers will fill in the blanks:
NOTE: I believe I have identified all 51 robots on the shirt. They are listed here.
