Potbot's Everywhere

Once it seemed that everyone had a Potbot. They floated along the city streets in huge numbers, they were in every office and home. They made the world seem strange and mysterious, these ornate clock-work looking robots. No two were exactly alike. Now, sadly, they are relagated to museums as the last one was made over 40 years ago. People say they still float around abandoned deep space colonies, waiting for someone to return so that it can take notes, run errands or record stories. They are best at recording stories.
