Often referred to in previous episodes, but never given the attention they deserve - it's time to talk robots. Treating them as a tech topic feels a little odd though. They've been independent - and officially sentient - for a long time. In this episode we bring you up to speed on robot history, robot types and robot factions (or fractions as Dirk keeps calling them). We also explain the pros and cons of being a robot, what the robot buddy program is, and what happens to a robot when his battery runs out. Spoiler: it ain't pretty! In a whiff of jealousy, Dirk's PA wants a bit of attention too, and interrupts the show with a very important message.
