Frobozz Magic Robot (A)

ROBBY

Robby was a late-model robot produced by the Frobozz Magic Robot Company and trained at G.U.E. Tech to perform various simple household functions. He was used in the Dungeon of Zork where he had the primary function to operate the Frobozz Magic Room Spinner controls, since the output of the machinery was of such an abnormally high voltage. In the mid-tenth century, after the Great Underground Empire had long collapsed, the Second Dungeon Master put Robby to use, not only to control the speed of the Room Spinner, but also to lift a cage which had trapped this adventurer upon his attempt to steal one of the palantirs from a nearby room.
