Post Robot Exhibition at Worcester (UK) Museum
Dropped in to my local museum/gallery to check out the Robot Exhibition today...

If anyone was thinking of going to the Doctor Who Museum at Bromyard -

this would help fill the day as it's not too far away...

Only on until September 3rd -

While I'm all for cool robot exhibits, some of those items displayed are pure crap. My kids received these modern-day $15 robot toys as gifts. They certainly don't below in any museum exhibit. Right now they are sitting in my garage after failing to sell in two consecutive garage sales. :lol:

Things like this, especially in my town, don't really happen here so it was good to see!
Those particular robots didn't mean much to me either - I didn't really note what they were, but there were a bunch of other 'kids' (real ones not grown ups!!) in the museum that were gathered around and excited by them :D
The real stuff from Lost in Space, Forbidden Planet and R2D2 were great...

I hear ya. I don't mean to dis the exhibit as a whole. Like you said, its always good to see this sort of thing on a local level. And its always good to see bots get respect. But I just found it funny to see those particular ones included.
