Robot vs Sloth

People often ask why robots, why sloths? (La Ru here – owner and creator of Robot vs Sloth.) Well in the ’80s Seattle had a terrible sloth problem. By 1982 they were everywhere. So many sloths people were tripping over them, they’d fall out of trees onto their roofs, they’d climb important Seattle buildings; the sloths were taking over Seattle. During a heavily debated city council meeting, the city council voted, 7 to 2, to bring in robots to take care of the growing problem.

The robots came in but went overboard, they got rid of all the sloths except for two that now live at the Woodland Park Zoo. The robots shipped all of the other sloths safely down to Costa Rica, where they have flourished as a species.

February 10th is the anniversary of the infamous battle between the robots and sloths. Just kidding, but that would be a fun story, right?
