There is a podcast I listen to called the Dunesteef Audio Fiction Magazine, and one of the recurring Characters on the show is a robot named RO8OT.
With the advent of the contest, I decided to take this opportunity to bring him to digital life.
My idea was a cross between K-9 of Doctor Who fame,and an MSE6 droid from Star Wars. I also wanted to incorporate some audio equipment in the design and so of course I decided to make his main body resemble an old fashioned boom box.

The composition of the image is a play on the famous 1899 painting 'His Masters Voice' by Francis Barraud which was subsequently used in a global marketing campaign.
