You no doubt remember Problem Man, robot number 9, so today's robot might seem like a repeat. Listen: it's not. True - this robot is composed partly of Problem Man, but is much more, it is the Robotic Present Guarding Movie Tower of Placemas (RPGMTP), and it is fantastic. Placemas was also fantastic, if you were wondering (you probably weren't).
What? Oh, right - the above pictures don't really display the robot's most important feature: its lights.

There was no question that it guarded presents well. Perhaps if the boys had been a bit younger, Henry wouldn't have considered it. To a small child it could really be very frightening. But at 8 and 10, Jake and Colin actually found the glowing eyes and playfully stern, "step away from the presents!" quite cool. They were the perfect age for it to be both a n early toy, and a precaution against their avaricious peeking.
But then Christmas day came, and Henry never had been great at setting timers. The boys attempted to wrestle their presents away from the steel clamps that encircled them. As the control panel blinked a mysterious, "Error" message, the pre-recorded warning grew louder and louder. The blank eyes grew brighter, and hot, as they focused on Henry and his sons.
