Nice. I love that the longest of the chapters it the one on what to do when the robot uprising occurs.

Thanks - yeah, that would seem to me to be the most complicated part of interacting with the product. = )

I want to read this manual so much now.

"Even though we know that you will mostly be using your robot to perform routine domestic tasks such as cooking and cleaning, we have nevertheless given the unit the strength to hurl a school bus through a concrete wall, and outfitted it with a laser than can burn through steel in seconds. You never know if you might need them!"

It's not a real robot without lasers.

Indeed! Plus, lasers make everything better.

Lol! It isn't worth having a robot unless it has the power to uprise, obviously!
