SkaterCat

It is a robot cat with a camera in its belly and a fridge in the back. Its shaped like a cat because they are very curious and love to explore. SkaterCat uses a remote control to move around. There’s a button on the top of the camera so you can use it like you would a normal camera or use the remote control if you want to explore somewhere you can’t get to in the far reaches of Mars. It makes a great travelling companion as you can keep stuff safe in his head and he’s very soft and squishy for hugs when you are getting anxious as the outer layer is made from the same material as squish mallows.

My Robo-Doggy 1.0 is able to work without an environmental footprint and is a perfect companion to take to Mars.
