	The '''Visor Robot''' is a futuristic robot that was invented by [[Strong Bad]] while making up stories at the [[Homestarloween Party]]. In [[Strong Sad]]'s version of the story, the robot had a human brain which belonged to an old man who was the father of [[The Sad Kids]]. He is a large, humanoid robot with a prominent groove on his torso and a single antenna on top of his head, in addition to the red visor that gives him his name. Inside the robot's head there is a red light bulb that makes the visor light up when talking. He has been known to shoot lasers out of his visor with a loud "[[Voip\|VOIP]]". In his testimonial for [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage]], he claims that the mortgage company helped consolidate his "whole life into this tiny box." ~~He once had a stint recording personalized messages for money, a moment in his life he considers very depressing. There is also a miniaturized visor robot that is used as a Digital Assistant.~~		The '''Visor Robot''' is a futuristic robot that was invented by [[Strong Bad]] while making up stories at the [[Homestarloween Party]].
