OK so it's not a *working* robot.
My brother gradded from comsci and I couldn't think of a decent gift. In the end, I grabbed some CPUs, and ISA lan card and some SIMMs and made them into a human-sort of form. The head was an old mouse, one hand was the read-write arm from a HDD, and the thing stood up on top of HDD platters, with headsinks glued onto them to take the SIMMs and make it stand up. He loved it.
