"Sam" is a three foot tall robot that looks like a cross between a street sweeper and an industrial coffee machine.
After stopping to turn a corner as normal, Sam performed his regular 90-degree pivot only to suddenly accelerate from his normal speed of a slow walk to a 15 mile per hour sprint.
As Sam backed up to complete his turn, the Sergeant fired a bullet through the controls of his drive system, bringing him to a halt at last.

She turned and saw the robot sweep its hand along the bench top in search of the beaker that was rolling at its feet.

So, predictably, a couple of hours later the DOD comes knocking on Ed's door saying "Hey, could we like, borrow your amazing, flying, all-conquering gigantic robotic war machine?" And Ed goes "Use the one you've got" and we laughed in their faces, coz it served them right.

 Machinima.com: Killer Robot Showcase   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Without a doubt, it was one of the highlights of machinima at the time; and a year on, 'Killer Robot' parts 1 through 4 have again reset the boundaries of quality for the medium.
The models and sets are relatively simple – little robots wandering about the surface of Mars, collecting data and – as you'll see as the story progresses – getting up to other things as well.
The plot revolves around 3 main characters – Sam, a staid and loyal machine; Mira, the cheerfully chaotic pickaxe-wielding robot who turns Sam's ordered life on its head, and Cato, Sam's 'boss', a robot with a remarkably imaginative method of locomotion and a penchant for over-the-top theatrics.

 Sam's B9 Robot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
As a collector of vintage toys, the coolest toy I could ever think of owning would be a full-size replica of the B9 robot from the 1960s TV classic Lost in Space.
The original robot was actually a costume worn by actor Bob May, so a replica can either also be a costume or can include animation created using motors, actuators, and electronics.
But it wasn't until July, 2004 that I truly took the plunge and joined the B9 Robot Builders Club and started gathering parts and doing research.

 Intuitor - Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics
During the presentation I converse with SAM (actually a student talking through a transmitter), SAM does a little dance, and we crack a few robot jokes about how he is also a romantic—he has a thing for the copy machine.
SAM was designed and built for a FIRST robotics competition in six very intense weeks by a team of about a dozen students and almost as many engineers.
When we make future presentations, our robotics team will have to worry not just that we could accidentally mislead our audience but that they have already been mislead and we might accidentally reinforce their misconceptions.

 Progressive Ears Album Reviews
"Sam the Robot" is a melancholy electronic tune composed for the movie short of the same title, an equally affecting movie (recommended, and available for viewing at the SEeKing Dawn official site: http://www.seekingdawn.com.)
Also, just for fun is "Sam the Robot: end titles (alternate)." This is listed as a game sound track, and it sounds very much like one (completely electronic), with quirky singsong vocals dispersed at irregular intervals.
The track I recommend most is their newest, "The Changeling." This has by far the most proggy feel and conversely, the most chance (IMO) for commercial appeal, both in composition and song length.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The robot was created to fulfill a dream: laying fiber-optic cable within city sewer systems.
Robots, however, come in all shapes and sizes; and when the science fiction visionaries promised that some day robots would handle the dirty tasks that humans would abhor, well, this was exactly the sort of thing they were talking about.
Somebody has to get the robot into the manholes, to build in the "slack boxes" that allow the connections from the fiber-optic network into buildings, and to take on other tasks, sometimes unpleasant.
