| Character Information
|
Robbie the Automaton is a robot who advertises the Springfield Knowledgeum.
History
Robbie was brought to Springfield Elementary School to advertise the Knowledgeum to the students. Robbie then asks the students if they've wondered what it's like to touch a star or which of The Three Stooges brains weighed the heaviest. Bart then noticed its controller outside the window, in a tree, and threw an apple at him, causing him to fall out and the command link to Robbie to be served. Robbie then went into its default setting, "crush, kill, destroy" and attempted to strangle Principal Skinner. When Skinner asked the kids to help, they cheered instead.[1]
