An installation comprising a wire cage, much like those seen at shopping-mall animal adoption operations, and a small table. The cage contains larger robot vehicles (on the order of a cubic foot in size) and the table holds smaller, hand sized, robots. The robots are up for adoption into good homes. In general the robots will be operating autonomously. Some pace back and forth or respond to viewers' presence in different ways. Others just interact with their environment in what might be marginally intelligent ways.
