Nerdbots are the brain-children a married couple from Kansas City, MO Nicholas and Angela Snyder.  These mechanical marvels are made from all recycled parts and are capable of cleaning your house with the latest sustainable cleaning practices.  On the forefront of AI research the Snyder’s were able to make this scientific breakthrough using all recycled old appliances.

Ok, just kidding, they actually won’t clean your house, but, they are lauded as lovable, great listeners that won’t brag about their mental capacity.  So while they are no actual functioning robots, they are a fun & creative use of rescued old appliances. 

The Snyder’s may not be leaders in the field of AI, but they do have a talent for developing these endearing pieces of sustainable art.  You can adopt your own Nerdbot, but act fast, these guys are getting scooped up fast.  Someone beat me to Leotron, and I’m still not over it!  If you have a creative and mechanical streak, I suggest building your own, and if you are able to figure out how to get yours to actually clean your house, let me know.
