The Art of Defense
I am sure that by now that my audience is familiar with many of the useful functions droids possess. We can perform medical, translation, protocol, maintenance, child-rearing, heavy labor, and even security tasks.
I know the last is not one I have mentioned often, but here is a line of droids that lists the following in their specifications:
“Robot aids in safety & protection. Helps prevent ninjas, cowboys, aliens, pirates, dogs w/ sweaters, creepy uncles, and emo kids from entering your zone by using its robot skillz. For best results place robot on shelf facing a window and/or door of your zone. See results instantly. In case of detached limb during combat, acquire a hot glue servicing mechanism device and reattach where necessary. Sometimes robot may become fierce. Batteries not included, nor necessary. Robot personalities may vary. See a physician if complications occur.“
I am not sure what defines a human’s zone, or what an “emo kid” is, but if you are having problems with one threatening the other, this may be a wise investment. Each droid is also a handmade art piece, and have a unique charm.
