which of the robots had arms[edit]

Shouldn't we include coverage of which of the robots had arms? If I remember correctly, the earlier (and more expensive) robots had arms but the Jr. did not (they deemed its AI inadequate to make cost-effective use of an arm). Sarsaparilla (talk) 02:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trouble archiving links on the article[edit]

Hello. I am finding myself repeatedly archiving links on this page. This usually happens when the archive doesn't recognize the archive to be good.

This could be because the link is either a redirect, or I am unknowingly archiving a dead link. Please check the following links to see if it's redirecting, or in anyway bad, and fix them, if possible.

In any event this will be the only notification in regards to these links, and I will discontinue my attempts to archive these pages.
