Robots have a long and checkered history when it comes to their interactions with the public.  For every Robby the Robot, there’s a Terminator.  For every Pimpbot 5000, there’s a horde of rampaging killbots.  For every Turkatron, there’s a Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future.  For every England national team striker Peter Crouch doing the Robot, there’s a Robo QB Todd Marinovich strung out on crystal meth and skateboarding illegally.  For every lovable Bender, there are robots stealing old people’s medicine for fuel.  Let’s not get started on Probot.

We love robots; they love us back.  We hate robots; they hate us back.  Regardless of your feelings on robots, you can appreciate the genius that is ThinkGeek’s USB Snowbot.  With the flip of a switch, his scanning eye goes from benevolent blue to malevolent red, meaning that if you want to show your support and loyalty to good robots, or if you want to cower in fear from bad robots, you can do that.

Of course, while it’s not as threatening as Jack Frost as far as evil snow-creatures go, it’s still pretty cool.  It both shows your holiday spirit and your love of stuff that plugs into your USB ports, so geek on, fellow geeks.
