Party Bot

Buck Rogers had to wait until the 25th century to get his, whilst Jabba the Hutt simply nicked Luke Skywalker's, screwed a drinks tray onto its head and shoved it on a huge levitating sand barge! What are we talking about? Why, electronic manservants, of course. We've all dreamt of having our own android butler. After all, robo-lackeys don't answer back and their chips are on their circuitboards, not their shoulders. Sadly, most cyber-domestics we've encountered have been about as useful as custard cardigans - until now.

Party Bot in the Press:
"Just like having a wife/husbad really, except this is much cheaper to run." - Internet Magazine

"Perfect for bachelors, this remote-control robot transports drinks to guests, as well as sweeping up the party debris with the brushes underneath." - Daily Telegraph

"Obviously, a load of robots will one day take over the world from us mere flesh-and-blood humans. But until then, we can use this helpful fellow to bring us beer and fags, entertain our friend and even clean our mess." - Nuts

"Meet your new best friend. Looking like a cross between a gremlin and R2D2 (not an unattractive combo), the PartyBot is all the company you need of an evening." - Maxim

"If you remember Buck Rogers or Star Wars you're probably still waiting for the day you can have your own electronic servant. Well, the gadget hunters at Firebox have been around the world several times, and apart from carning shed-loads of air miles, they've found this - the Party Bot." - Daily Star Sunday

"The Party Bot has more uses than most - it can carry a can of drink and sweep up your dropped nibbles!" - The Independent
