How do you feel toward you robot?

I signed the crate since everyone else was doing that, but the robot really doesn't have feelings. It's not that I don't like the robot, I just don't think it's appropriate to spend time talking to the robot right before it ships.

Come on Z man... it has a name, we all love it, and it nearly ran over Mr. Kressly a few times. How could something like that not be human?

I miss our little robot. It was my focus for six weeks and one day it's just gone, picked up by the mystery men who drive those FedEx trucks. As I've said before, I'm proud that our team was able to produce a fully function robot quite a few days before ship date and not have to pull all-nighters to do it. I think everybody on our team (except for worldbringer I'm guessing now ) was both excited and sad to see our first robot be picked up and shipped off. I know I was.
