Product Description

Product Description
First they were a figment of our imaginations. Then they started to replace large numbers of people in factories. Now they're doing our housework and performing brain-surgery (though not at the same time). Yes, Riotous Robots are taking over the world, and this cybernetic guide tells you just how they're doing it. From underwater discovery to space travel, these metallic marvels are getting the most exciting jobs on the planet. But read on and you'll discover a robot that's forced to snack on slugs for a living and a robo-alligator that works as a scarecrow. PLUS learn how to tell your cyborgs from your cyberpets.

3.0 out of 5 stars Riotous robots, 8 Nov 2003
This book is yet again very similar to the other The Knowledge books. It features topics about the first robots, different types of robots and as usual has the same obvious jokes! I would reccomend this book for those who have already read books of The Knowledge or people who would like to try one of the extensive books of The Knowledge series.
