Chippy’s Christmas Letter

Well, it’s been a data-filled year for this robot producer.  In January, Adam and Ben got me some new treads as a gift for my work on the show.  In February, they sent me a bill.  How terrible. In March, Adam and Ben forgot to plug me in and my batteries died.  Thanks, guys.  In …

Chippy, Chapter 2

Chippy knew that his batteries were running low.  He looked high and low, his outlet sensor in high search mode.  Must find a place to plug in.  A robot he might be, but he knows enough to not lose his charge. “Chippy, get away from that!” said airman Barnes. “Chippy!  Don’t unplug that!” said airman …
