You all know Robot Dance Party—the hulking silver robot that wonders into Dolores Park, blasting some ancient Cake track you forgot existed.  Well, the robot, who's apparently a guy in a costume or something, is looking to make some upgrades, including a lighting system, a tablet for people to select songs, and karaoke machine.

To pull it off, it's going to cost the robot $1,500—a lot of money for a robot with no job prospects, unless he has some holes we don't know about.  So it's turning to Kickstarter to raise the money.

Now, we typically don't encourage people to donate to Kickstarters because they're usually for wolf shirts and whatever, but we struggle to think of a better cause than being able to terrorize a playground full of children with a sick rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody while a Robot bounces by your side.  So do consider donating.
