Oh yeah.

If any post ever deserved a picture, it’s this one.
No picture. What’s the deal?

The deal is the Halfbakery, one of the Head Rotor’s favorite time wasters. The Halfbakery is where you post your inventions that are too impractical, useless or stupid to actually build — what the Japanese call chindogu. You know, impractical solutions to non-existent problems, like Custard-Filled Speed Bumps and the Anti-Ouch Lego System.

Only it’s not completely a waste of time; the Rotor finds surprising inspiration to be had amidst the dross and foolishness. (And there is quite a bit of the latter; Jutta the Bakesperson gives people a lot of room to be stupid, bless her.)

So, a few robot-flavored semipastries:

• Giant Robot Chicken Soda Machine Over the top? But of course. Your are getting the point.
• Robot Day “dress up like robots and listen to electronic music while doing the robot with real robots.”
• Boomba the minesweeping robot

And so forth. So go out there, get half-baked, be inspired, and for God’s sake somebody please build a Giant Robot Chicken Soda Machine.
