Declassified: John F. Kennedy Robot Discovered!!!
Orlando, September 13: A robot of former United States President John F. Kennedy has surfaced in Orlando, Florida. On the heels of a top secret recording that was declassified on September 11, CIA spokesman Ollie Tabooger made the official announcement that after Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, the President was thought to be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery on November 25th, 1963. However, on March 14, 1967 when his remains were permanentaly being moved to their current location only a few feet away, scientists secretly recovered some of his DNA for experiments that would later result in the robot. The top-secret project was labeled "Experiment-Z".

Robotki Robots featured in 2nd Mobile Art Show!
The second TheDailyCity.com Mobile Art Show took place downtown as part of Third Thursdays from 6pm-9:30pm. The UHaul was full of local art and flyers for the blog. The visitors used flashlights designed by Jessica Earley to view the art and find their way around the truck at night.

Fire Chief Robot
This robot is much like the original Robotki robot, only his head does not light up. He reminds me of a fireman... so I named him "The Chief".

Robotki Robot Lamp
Created in the "Robotki" style this robot is an actual working lamp that plugs into any standard electrical outlet.

The Original Robotki Robot
The head is a solar-powered light that actually works! This particular style is what the robots' creator envisions the true "Robotki" style*.

Ray Cathode Robot
I found his head on the street at a red light. It's from a Bosch headlight housing that was left at an intersection presumably after an accident. Yeah, I got out of the car to pick it up. You don't pass-up opportunities like that in this business!

"Lil' Tim" Robot
This one was the first robots created by Tim Warchocki in the true "found art" category. Named "Little Tim" by his new owner, he remains a sentimental favorite of Tim's. He's made from an old 1950's Mixmaster blender and some other miscellaneous parts.

Damaged Funland Robots from Scooby Doo.
Not really in the "found art" category, these were once Scooby-Doo action figures that I disemboweled and added my own twisted sort of robotectomy on.

Robot Peach
Because she's "pretty as a peach". Tim has since swapped-out the red ball for a heart-shaped lock (representing a purse). New photos will be added soon.

Takusan Robots
Takusan is the Japanese word for "many"... and I made "many" of these. They also remind me of "Pokemon" characters. I created these as an "entry level" Robotki (they're not expensive and therefore may be more inclined to being adopted into a new home.)
