A mechanism able to mix drinks; a robot bartender. (Read the full article)
| "I'll be damned if I know whether Reggie walks or rolls. In 600 manuscript pages I don't think I ever brought him out from behind the bar.
-- Mike Resnick" (Mike Resnick 3/12/2008 11:33:04 PM ) |
"Mike - you say he rolls:
"He's wrong."(The Outpost, pp. 190-91)" (Bill Christensen 3/13/2008 5:16:34 AM ) |
| "If I said it, then he rolls. That was one sentence 14 novels and maybe 30 stories ago; you'll have to forgive me for not remembering.
I do have some robots who are
main characters -- Saammy in the Hugo-nominated "Robots Don't Dry"; and the basketball center in "The Big Guy", which will be reprinted in THE BEST OF JIM BAEN'S UNIVERSE #2.
But by and large, I prefer people.
