BotJunkie posted a great roundup of fabulous robots from the past, taken from Cybernetic Zoo. We could (and did) peruse these for hours.

We particularly like this baby being completely nonchalant about the giant robot taking it for a stroll. Not a care in the world.

BLANKS, by artist Tyler Jackson, are cool wooden robots made of found wood and other objects that Jackson collected over the course of several years.

We love ‘em. Check them out at Randomization.

Noupe recently posted a roundup of 40 terrific works of art made from trash. It’s like visual crack for trash-lovers like us.

Thanks to Brian Frolo for the heads up on this one.

We’re loving this little orange robot key chain that easily attaches to keys, bags and an endless array of other things. You should never be late again!

This adorable little ceramic robot eats coins like they’re going out of style. He’ll help you save up for something special, one meal at a time. That is, as long as he lets you have your money back when he’s through with it.

Grab your hungry little fella for $46 from Art Effect.
