Even today’s high-tech polymer skins and flesh-fabrics aren’t immune to the punishing rays of the sun. Parasol’s miracle coating technology does for your bot what SPF 90 sunscreen does for you—and lasts all year! It’s a great value too! At $60, this ounce of prevention costs less than a single limb reupholstery! If your garden bot or automated tennis instructor has already started to fade like an old beach umbrella, ask about our complete selection of Parasol Staining Additives. We can match the original flesh tones of all major manufacturers—or you can mix your own custom tints for that designer touch! Spring Arm Shipments Have Arrived! Electric Toyland is pleased to announce that after looking over this season’s offerings from all the major manufacturers, we have chosen the Krupgruppe Multitask Armature to be this spring’s replacement limb of choice. Krupgruppe’s extruded ceramics continue to be the envy of the industry for skeletal bones: light, durable, and unbelievably strong, these babies will strip the teeth off a chainsaw blade without showing a scratch. Say goodbye to that annoying siren at the airport metal detector, too! Patented SmartJoint ratcheting interfaces give full 360&Mac251; rotation at elbow, wrist, and thumb joint for those hard-to-reach jobs. The braided fibertrops ligaments, ribbed meatpac musculature, and tensilite-weft skin, make for a handsome, powerful limb, and Krupgruppe’s fingerpad nerve clusters give their hands twice the tactile sensitivity of a human lip! If your bot’s arm is bent, broken, or just needs an upgrade, this quality Kruppgruppe replacement limb—on sale for an incredibly low $379.99—offers unbeatable value! Like a number of other East Coast shops, ETRS has encountered what seems to be the latest in a series of increasingly nasty but minor "temporal bleeds" in ostensibly self-contained SP timing systems. Osmer calls it a "clockup," but it's more than a mere nuisance. The other day we worked on a nannybot that had missed the cadence while tossing and catching a child. Though the kid was only bruised, the parents were rightfully upset. They're suing Global Synastructures, the AI manufacturer. The next day we ran into an ugly but kind of funny scenario when the IMBL tech guys came in with an umpbot that blew a bunch of big calls in the Nationals-Pirates double-header. It seems he kept looking off when he should have been calling pitches. They had to stop the second game when he tried to broom the plate at the same time the catcher was attempting to gun down a stolen base attempt. Boy, was the scene at Walter Johnson Stadium a mess. ETRS has been running a custom diagnostic regimen on the few dozen SPs we've seen suffering from same syndrome, and we've been able to identify and correct the problem pretty easily. The crew is still working on the root cause, so we can post a prevent sys or prepatch a potential rupture. We're hoping Potomac Grip's patented Link-keeper gateware will do the trick. It combats processor bleed/spring/theft in most CPUs, SSs, OSs, and DMSs. And now we're offering it free with every timing sys overhaul. A lot of lucky folks now have the privilege of owning one of the two hottest and most expensive supertoys: either a Ptery pterasaur or an Ande the Magic War-Condor. Cybertronics and Floating Boy, the two manufacturers of these fine products, rightfully warrant their work for five years. They're both great toys. Still, they're subject to nature's whims, especially sudden wind gusts and unpredictable drafts. Fortunately, ETRS can you help in the face of these crippling emergencies. Working with our friends at Meteorthought, we are now able to offer you a great deal on light, innocuous Windlord hover-boosters. They'll protect your investment and ensure that you and your child will never lose that special toy to nature's windy wrath. Come on down and check them out soon. Installation is quick, and it won't affect your manufacturer's warranty.
