NYC Resistor

We learn, share, and make things

Mr. Stabby versus the Penguin.

April 04th, 2010

The venerable and highly esteemed Mr Stabby. An orphan robot found upon the streets of new york, and eventually dropped off at NYC Resistor has found a home in our hearts. Luckily we’ve kept him thus far from plunging a knife into that home. We did however decide that since Mr Stabby means so much to all of us, that we’d celebrate his birthday. This year stabs got to take out a pinata shaped like a penguin.

Here’s a video of stabs showing us that even the surliest robots can sometimes find a home full of love, and support if hackerspaces are willing to open their doors to them.

Stabs… this one’s for you man.

    The penguin on the receiving end looks the character Pablo from the Backyardigans;
    Any chance for a rematch? And to make it interesting, arm the penguin with a rail gun ( grin ).
