<p>It&#8217;s more of <em>fauxbot</em> (faux robot.) That is to say, it sort of appears to be robotic but in fact it just has <em>bendy arms</em> that a <em>human has to manipulate</em>, which is a huge letdown for those of us who dream of robots performing simple everyday tasks like making our daily s&#8217;mores.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2813" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/smore2.jpg" alt="smore2" width="520" height="262" title="smore2 photo" /></p>
<p>To be honest, I don&#8217;t even like s&#8217;mores that much when camping (I know, sacrilege) but microwaving crackers and marshmallows is just nasty. I suggest you try it <em>sans</em> weird anthropomorphic bendy arms guy before blowing your dough on this. However, it&#8217;s only $6.95, which is only about $6.85 more than what it&#8217;s probably worth. But if your wanton s&#8217;more-lust simply can&#8217;t be tamed, you can buy one from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001447LEE/unclutterer-20/ref=nosim/">Amazon</a>.</p>
