Scary Gary by Mark Buford for August 13, 2022

YARDWORK? Hey! Heyyy! Let him take over the world but hands off my job!!

In reality, it’s a sideways toaster…

Grass needs cutting…let’s see what it can do….

“Kill all crabgrass!”

Is it laser-armed? We have mosquitoes.

Leo’s gearing up this Robotech prototype for the next BattleBots event.

" Leo, why is your robot tearing up the neighbor’s lawn?"

In most Science Fiction the robot that is into World Domination will destroy everyone and everything. But… then what? What is the point of ruling over a dead planet? I would like to give a harder challenge! How about World Domination through creativity or planting? Then the future fear could be the Robots who Rule… battling the Kudzu that is trying to grow over everything!

At Last: Leopold has created something that might be useful.

So world domination is preceded by having your yard under control? Well, shucks, I will never be able to dominate the world then.

Have him put in a swimming pool, Leopold, and then build a robot Nessie. Two robots are better than one, and that way you can dominate land and sea.

Baby steps…..

What sort of yardwork can you do with a flame thrower?

YES!!! My yard is a mess! Send him my way, please!

Must be a Disney robot. Note the gloves.

Does it use a rake or a flamethrower (we know Leopold is fond of flamethrowers)? Does it do mulching?

How soon before it’s ready to accept “world domination” programming?

World domination is a bit grandiose and untenable.
