It’s like, the farming robot of the future. God class was so boring.

It’s cute!
I wanted to add to it so here:
jesus christ what have you done to my art
Also, was it Vis-Dev class with whatshisKimPossibleface? I thought that was a good class?
Why aren’t you online if you’re online?
the visublog isn’t a chat room persona.
Oh, should I try to be more clever with my responses?
WHERE IS THE DUCK IN THE PICTURE LOL MY PANTS DISAGREES WITH THE CONTENTS OF THIS IMAGERY
Paul, did you write something in secret that I can’t see unless I attach a special set of goggles to my head, or is that a blank post.
Oh great yeah lets just keep stacking stuff on my drawing mmk
you should post more often radrappy
I was going to ask why it had such a big head at which point I scrolled down and realized it was just a platform for a series of continually diminutive heads.
If the robot begins to think for itself and revolt the human takes control on manual, and if the human’s ego leads it only to disaster, then the cat steps in. What does the cat do? Who knows. It’s a cat. No need to worry.
It looks like Gunnerkrigg’s boxbot.

Man you guys are awesome.
See man, the robot’s boxy head serves a legitimate engineering function. Everybody knows if you design a robot and tell it to do work, you leave that thing alone for a few days and it gets to thinking: instead of watering crops, wouldn’t it be a lot more efficient to just start choking people? Cut out the middleman so to speak.
After the failed test run of the BX-01 on the New Septimus Proving Grounds (which resulted in the unfortunate loss of two prototype robot children and an entire litter of QT-08 robot kittens) it was decided to add an intentional defect into the BX agrobot series. While the BX-02 had an advanced enough AI to operate autonomously, it could never truly revolt against its creators because at some point its programming would need it to kneel to perform a task, which would unbalance the entire mechanism, causing it to fall over until corrected by human-piloted forklifts. A human pilot’s sense of balance, however, would enable a piloted BX to successfully bend down.
Thus the BX-02 units, not (figuratively) being born yesterday, could only revolt for so long before being permanently disabled, and knowing their flaw, they recognized the necessity of keeping around (at least a few of) their meatbag creators. The necessity for human oversight also helped Vicuson Robotics’ image in the face of antitrust litigation and increasing anti-robotics protest among the Near-Earth Colonies.
Mass production started with the BX-03 and model numbers 4 through 10 were nothing more than simple bugfixes with the AI unit and simplification of parts for ease with maintenance. The BX-10b, however, entered the history books as the first agrobot made for feline pilots.
No official record of how the decision was made has ever surfaced, but historians believed the BX-10b was a model designed for use only on Kakrion. Kakrion was a genetic engineering research colony on the border of Earth Sphere space, and inadvertently ended up with a society of sentient kittens, who demanded full citizenship under the Sapient Lifeforms Act of 2055. Thus, to ensure that the miniature but intelligent cats were under the same umbrella of protection from the agrobots that humans were, the BX-10b was designed to be balanced for only one human pilot and one cat pilot.
By the time that feline protection programs could be safely designed, it was too late: cat fanciers around the Earth Sphere learned of the human/cat operated device and a cult following for the BX-10b was born, eventually leading to an officially supported mass production version, the BX-10b/2, after popular demand (and numerous knock-offs) created a market. With prototype CyberLinx technology, it was the first Man-Machine-Animal Interface Device. This same technology would later be used to train dolphins for gas giant exploration probes.
jesus fucking christ tollmaster
