After seeing Jamie for the first time in four years (that's, like, ten minutes in robot time, but whatever), I thought that I would have lots of exciting new things to write on this blog. Imagine my surprise to find that Jamie is exactly the same....i.e. boring.

Sigh. I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

26. The World's Smallest Robot

I rely on The Japan Times for approximately 99% of my robot-related news (not to mention 85% of my regular news), and it never disappoints. Today's paper links to this fascinating website about "impressive robots," such as the newly crowned (and Guinness-certified) "World's Smallest Robot."

Yes, loyal readers, Jamie Bourdon is no longer the world's smallest robot. He is, as of this posting, still the reigning title-holder for "World's Meanest Robot," "World's Most Foul Humanoid Figure," and "The Dumbest Person Jenni Knows."

But let's not fixate on loss (no one likes a loser!). Here are some photos of smaller-than-Jamie-bot doing what he was made to do:






Yeah, your guess is as good as mine.
