  1. Hope they fix the nomination page... by jejones · · Score: 3, Informative

    When you try to nominate a robot, you get a "Bad/No Recipient" error page.

    In any case--once it's up, IMHO Nilsson's robot "Shakey" deserves nomination.

  2. The REAL robot hall of fame by Animats · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's the real robot hall of fame, the Computer History Museum's robot collection. Many of the famous ones are there, including the Hopkins Beast and Shakey. They used to be on public display in Boston, but now they're in Mountain View, California. The Computer History Museum now has a new building, and is gradually setting up exhibits. Tours are available.
