Transcript
Welcome to the 9th Edition of Encyclopedia Robotica, the definitive repository of knowledge about all of Colorado’s synthetic citizens! This twelve-volume series will expound upon both the types of robots found throughout the snowy expanses and high elevations of the state, as well as their detailed histories. You will discover exciting new facts of which you were never aware! For example, whose idea was it and how drunk were they when they decided to attach giant saw blades to multi-legged robots and turn them loose on a population made almost entirely of saw-able flesh (“Sawdogs” pg. 152)? Also, did you know our Spiderbots (pg. 97) were designed to operate on uneven and treacherous terrain, and that their inventors only later realized giant robotic spiders looked utterly terrifying to most humans?

Perhaps you are researching Colorado robots for practical purposes, such as your family’s survival. If so, Encyclopedia Robotica is your ultimate guide! Never again lose a loved one to a dreaded “Hopper” robot (pgs. 65-75), the leaping automatons designed to carry all manner of explosive nuisances, from gas bombs to small tactical nuclear devices. You will learn how to prevent yourself and others from being electrocuted by Shockdogs (pg. 84). Hint: Avoid the prongs. Conversely, Servitor Bots can be life-saving medical assistants and are often utilized well for that purpose. However, their ability to manipulate tools means you should never give one a loaded machine gun.

All this information and more awaits you as you turn to the next pages of this introductory volume! Enjoy your journey exploring the diverse and only marginally lethal world of Colorado’s robots! – Dr. Horvan Fitzgerald, PhD (a human doctor of robotics and definitely not a robot himself),
