Did anyone else get a little scared when it did its mad face? This little robot is, I imagine, designed to be one of those greeter robots that tells you “welcome” and can respond when you ask it where the elevators are. Unfortunately, I think anyone that sees it will have dreams of the Robocalypse for weeks after. This is how it starts, people. It rolls around on Segway wheels now, but how long before it’s on tank treads, scaling mountains of human skulls?

They also need to get a new lighting guy… futuristic white robots are supposed to be overlit, not in terrifying half-shadow.
