    Doobiebot is Harbinger of a Future Where Pot is Legal

    I love this little bot whose fingers are made of roach clips. In the future, when pot is legal and alcohol-drinking is for people who experiment with dangerous retro-drugs, you'll be able to choose from a whole line of doobiebots who scoot around with burning joint-ends and say things like "Dude, don't bogart that joint!" We've got more doobiebots below.

    OK, I'll admit it. These aren't really doobiebots. They're merely cool robots who JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE ROACH CLIPS FOR HANDS.
