[challenge entry] And the Lord said to Noah...
'Build yourself a Robot and name him Zark!'

So Noah toiled and each day he built a Robot but each day the Robot failed.

Lo, on the seventh day he succeeded and said to the Lord,

'Lord, I have done what you have said. What would you have me order my 7-Zark-7 to do?'

'He must gather together two of every Robot!'

And lo, The Robots did gather together with Noah's Zark!



And seeing the Robots Noah did look to the Heavens and say..

'Lord, HOW THE BLOODY HELL AM I GOING TO GET THOSE AT-AT's ON THE BLOODY BOAT?'

# True.
Do you think replicants (a la bladerunner) would count as robots?

Was having a bit of a philosophical discussion on this subject last week.

# Hmmm
If you extend the definition of "robot" from being a machine or a mechanical device, to also include any artificial device, then yes.

# Well...
The Robotics Institute of America (RIA) defines a robot as:

A re-programmable multi-functional manipulator designed to move materials, parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.[9]

The RIA recognizes four classes of robot:

* 1: Handling devices with manual control
* 2: Automated handling devices with predetermined cycles
* 3: Programmable, servo-controlled robots with continuous of point-to-point trajectories
* 4: Robots capable of Type C specifications which also acquire information from the environment for intelligent motion


So I think AT-ATs & Daleks could be included under Class 1!

But I agree Cybermen don't count but hey, maybe I can get an award for getting the most Robots (true or otherwise) in a single Challenge Entry?
