I'm not sure they obsess over females in general, but many obsess over Kat. She's seen as an angel based on looks alone or maybe some other robot sense. Robot called Annie "Mommy" when he was first activated, but now he calls her just "Annie" but he seems to be in love with Kat! When Annie went to retrieve Robot's CPU, those robots treated her as just another human. Your speculation may still hold true though. I wouldn't be surprised if Diego's mother looked like Kat or something like that. |

It was right after the part where two robots are swooning over how Kat is an angel. I'm not sure if Boxbot is actually canon to the story. Poor terrible boxbot is just a running gag. |

Wild, wild, wild spec, huzzah!
So, in English class we were learning about William Yeats, and I thought his wife had quite an interesting name... So Yeats (who's eyebrows are quite plump, by the way) got married to a girl named, drumroll... George! Connection? I think yes.

Do we know if any of Diego's "heart-powered" robots were made before Jeanne was killed? It seems his robots were mostly small toys before then. Seraphs etc seem to have been a project of Diego's after Jeanne's death. I posit that the "heart" depicted with the arrow in it and in between the Court and Forest sides in the Fourth Treatise, and the "heart" depicted as the motive power for Diego's later robots, are one and the same: the soul of Jeanne, the only etheric source powerful enough to protect the Annan Waters the way the Court wanted to do (with enough to spare for Diego to use it to power robots on the Court side). If Kat and Annie free Jeanne's soul, it will be at the price of removing that etheric power source. I'm gonna guess they won't work this out until Kat has created something new and wonderful with it... A version of tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PoweredByAForsakenChild |

no cause we see robots in diegos lab before Jeanne dies don't we? Other than the small ones, I don't think so. I assumed the small robots were something Diego did in his spare time as gifts for Jeanne. Is Camera-bot the only known working Diego robot? I wonder why Kat doesn't inspect him. |

I wonder if the people who do have etheric abilities are all somehow related to other creatures.

I'm sure most of us have wondered why Diego would make something so awful as Boxbot. He was capable of creating works of art. So why? Why would he create that infernal BOXBOT?
Boxbot's structure is necessary for proper resilience. He's like a safe.
He holds the seed bismuth.

Robot is becoming more Android/Human like then all of the robots before him, Old Giant Robot is Dr. Sam Beckett trapped in the robot body during the shut down and now awaken by Kat, he must reach the tomb to do something so he could leap, because that leap could be the next leap home

I just had a random thought: what if the "monument" on this page is really a tomb? If so, perhaps it is the one that Frankenbot is looking for. I don't know why he would be looking for Sir Young's tomb, but given the fight on pages 423-428 that the robots were scripted out to play, his death certainly has some significance to them. Second, even crazier theory: What if it was a robot that killed Sir Young? "She died, and we did nothing. It's time to rectify that, Sir Young."  |

Wild Spec: Frankenbot will make his way to the river and 'fanboy' over Jeanne... who will get very annoyed when all attempts to kill him fail.
They eventually form an uneasy friendship then travel the world fighting crime.

Here's my theory!
Kat is part or wholly angel, she has etheric powers beyond human capacity that are unknown to any human science. She doesn't know this and perhaps neither do her parents.
My evidence? She is far too good with technology than is possible at such a young age, she can read magic robot code too complex for humans to understand and she's too damn cool!
I expect a red bull joke in there somewhere... "Red bull gives yo-OH GOD IT ACTUALLY DOES!!"

Diego didn't actually create any of the bots in the Court. They were all created by the seed bismuth, and he declared himself their ruler and wiped their memories (not in that order). Boxbot is his one attempt to make one himself.

Dante's image gave me this idea: Boxbot is thought to be terrible by everyone but is actually a descent guy. Robox is generally liked by everyone, but is actually evil. It is a metaphor for not judging people at first site.

On a recent read-through, I ran across Coyote asking Annie to tell Renard about his body. I do not recall that she ever did. Then, later, Annie asks Ms. Jones to tell Kat about what had happened and to pass on her love. Based on Kat's reaction when Annie returns, we have to wonder what, if anything, Ms. Jones said. I wonder if it wasn't some form of Karmic payback. Hmm, it just makes me wonder. |

laughing out loud, I always thought Jones' name was funny considering Wander Eye is a term used to describe a promiscuous person.
My wild theory- Jones and Coyote used to be an item aeons ago
Is... is that Baby Despair in your Icon Psykeout!? I LOVE IT

The Court becomes increasingly concerned about the robots' behavior. First, they've been abandoning their duties and posts to pay visits to Jeanne's shrine, leaving their work undone. Then they're showing signs of some weird cult. The Court decides that this needs to stop before it gets out of hand, and discover that both of these problems stem from the mysterious robot in a hoodie, who's unaccounted for in official records. When they examine him, they discover that he has the same CPU as the one belonging to the possessed robot at the bridge - and further investigations show that that CPU, while returned to the robots, was stolen only a few months after the bridge incident.
Which leads to Annie and Kat being called in for questioning....

Nice wild speculation, despite the fact that Annie and Kat are the only humans that we know of who have actually been into the 'Robots Only' compound. I'm sure the Court is aware of the compounds existence though.

Anja knows about it, and as far as I can tell, she's a part of the Court's "whatever it is" government.
Otherwise why would she take it upon herself to respond to Coyote's signal for the first meeting? You'd think responding to the god across the waters that everyone thinks is such a problem wouldn't be undertaken by just anyone.
