«©NCS» The Sanderson family keeps an unkempt house. There's mom, dad, daughter Jenny, and a rambunctious dog. To help the Sandersons with the upkeep of their home, a special helper is gifted to the clan. Measuring a mere 10cm tall, Chibi Robo represents the future of household robotics. It cooks, it cleans, and it even feeds the pet fish during the course of an average day. To help perform its chores, the mighty mite uses a brush to clean dirty surfaces and the top of its head flips open to serve as a trash can where large items seemingly pass into endless space. Chibi also wields a shovel for gardening and a laser blaster to fend off gangs of spiders which seem to have a malicious taste for Chibi Robos. The rigors of menial labor expends a lot of energy and Chibi has to constantly recharge its batteries by way of an electrical cord which plugs into an outlet. The cord trails Chibi and dangles loose and limp, which indicates that the furry-faced scientist who designed the robot had little regard for aesthetics. Vacuum cleaners have retractable power cords and yet a high-tech wunderkind like Chibi suffers the indignity of a hanging cord... Bottom line: Live the life of a robotic housemaid and discover drama and high tension hijinx in mundane spaces. View the back cover and screenshots.
