01 The workshop is open
Games about machines with too many feet, a binder full of them on foil, a control deck for a robot dog on your own Wi-Fi — and, shortly, a straight-talking catalogue of the robots you can actually buy.
02 What's here
Everything on this site runs in your browser and keeps what it saves on your machine. No account is needed for any of it, and nothing you do here is uploaded.
Open
Two cabinets so far. Robot Toes Mini is picture-Sudoku about mechanical feet — solve a grid, recover a blueprint fragment, wake the robot attached to the toe. Pinball Asteroids is a pinball table with zero gravity above the glass.
Enter the arcadeOpen
Seventeen cards: four workshop robots in three finishes, their four toes, and one card nobody expects. Every card has an art side and a schematic side. Packs are earned by solving puzzles.
Open the binderOpen
A control deck for the Hengbot Sirius robot dog. It talks to the robot over your own Wi-Fi and nowhere else — the address you type never leaves the browser, and no command is relayed through this site.
Open the controllerComing soon
The robots you can actually buy or preorder, written up honestly: what each one does, what it costs, what it needs from you, and what it quietly cannot do.
What it will holdComing soon
New releases, ship dates that slipped, preorders that opened, and the machines that are still only a keynote video.
What it will cover03 Coming soon
Consumer and prosumer robots that exist, or are close enough to name a date: quadrupeds, humanoids, arms, vacuums that have gone strange, and the small research platforms worth knowing about.
One page per machine, with the specification laid out the same way every time so two robots can actually be compared — and a plain paragraph on what it is genuinely like to own, which is the part the product page leaves out.
Not built yet. This section is here so the shape is agreed before the first entry is written.
Planned entry
04 Coming soon
A short, dated feed of robot releases: what shipped, what opened for preorder, what slipped, and what was demonstrated but has no date at all. Each item says which of those it is, up front.
Announcements will be marked as announcements. A keynote video is not a product, and this feed will say so rather than pretending otherwise.
Not built yet. The categories below are the ones the feed will use.
It is in buyers' hands. Released, delivered, and confirmed by someone other than the maker.
You can pay for it now. With the deposit, the stated ship window, and whether that window has already moved.
Dated, not delivered. A real date from the maker, and how many times it has changed.
Shown, not scheduled. A demo, a render, or a keynote — and no date worth writing down yet.
