The first \u2018bot just sort of appeared in one of my sketchbooks, the way a million (mostly bad) ideas do. For whatever silly reason, this idea stuck.<\/p>\n<p>I like the absurdity of it &#8211; Robots who delivers flowers. It\u2019s both personal and impersonal (robotical?) at the same time. I like that, with an exception or two, the robots deliver only one flower at a time. What could be less cost-effective or less efficient than sending a robot around the world to deliver one, single flower? But I\u2019d sure as hell do it to impress a girl.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1537376953\/the-wrylon-robotical-illustrated-catalog-of-botani\">The Wrylon Robotical Illustrated Catalog of Botanical &#8216;Bots<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also: <a href=\"http:\/\/boingboing.net\/2011\/12\/12\/gweek-030-supergods-mutants.html\">Barry was a guest on episode 30 of the Gweek podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=5f59de357819f503d2d3f9446fbf999d&#038;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/img.phdo?s=5f59de357819f503d2d3f9446fbf999d&#038;p=1\"><\/a><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/tags.bluekai.com\/site\/5148\" width=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/insight.adsrvr.org\/track\/evnt\/?ct=0:dupdmqp&#038;adv=wouzn4v&#038;fmt=3\" width=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/boingboing\/iBag\/~4\/1r6JiYj10oo\" width=\"1\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wrylon Robotical Illustrated Catalog of Botanical &#8216;Bots: My buddy Barry McWilliams has a kickstarter up for a fun book he wrote and illustrated called The Wrylon Robotical Illustrated Catalog of Botanical &#8216;Bots.
