Oh, those space robots. They don’t always do what we want them to do, but we love them anyway. If you need a fun diversion in your day, a new Tumblr site has arisen to call out the robots who have made mistakes. Called “Shaming Robots” it started innocently with an image posted of the engineering model of the Curiosity rover blaming the engineering Opportunity rover for messing up JPL’s Mars Yard. There’s now pages of shamed robots (both space and Earth-based). Submit your own if you have a robot you’d like to shame. You can also follow the fun discussion on Twitter at the hashtag #robotshaming.

My favourite from the Tumblr so far is the Voyager one http://robotshaming.tumblr.com/post/46999840008/actually-this-one-makes-me-feel-a-little-sad and my nomination for second prize is http://robotshaming.tumblr.com/post/47004127488/noaa-19-youre-drunk
