Robotos 2021 Recap
A look back at everything the team and community have built.
OMG, 2021 was crazy!
Let’s take a look back and celebrate everything the Robotos team and community achieved in 2021 since launching our collection of 9,999 Robotos!
We’re truly grateful to our collectors for all their help in the last five months—let’s see what has happened since launch:
1. Robotos Launch: Genesis 1
We created the art and technology to launch Robotos: 9,999 droid characters on the Ethereum network. The community received them with a lot of enthusiasm; they sold out in 20 minutes. 🥳
Until today, Robotos has traded 11,500 Ethereum and has 5,500 collectors around the world; plus a solid and creative community.
2. Robopets: Loyal Companions to Robotos
The Robotos team worked for many months to create Robopets, Robotos most loyal companions. In October, Roboto collectors free minted 8,800+ Robopets.
They say that pets usually resemble their owners — this isn’t an exception. Robopets at least one trait with their respective owners, and every pet will be unique.
3. TIME Studios Animated TV Show Based on Robotos
It has always been my aspiration to bring characters to life and create a universe around them. With Robotos and TIME joining forces, that dream is becoming a reality.
As an NFT artist and collector, I’m thrilled for this partnership with TIME Studios, an Emmy Award® and winning TV studio, to create a Robotos-inspired animated show.
NFTs are bringing art, community, and technology together to create something unique and innovative. We’re breaking new grounds and defining the future of storytelling and world-building.
Stories make us dream, believe in ourselves, give us meaning, transport us to other places, and make us stronger. We can’t wait to narrate the tales of our new characters and bring the Robotos and the NFT community along the ride.
So, be on the lookout for big announcements like character reveals, sketches, and sneak peeks into the production.

4. The Robotos Microverse
The Robotos Microverse is a 2D metaverse running on the blockchain where Robopet and Robotos can play and interact with each other. A few weeks ago we launched Disco Inferno and GM Botos Island, and currently developing more microverses!
👉 The coolest Microverse to date? Short Circuit, a racetrack for Robotos and Robopets to compete!
5. Roboto Land Is Coming Together
Have you heard of Roboto Land? This world is around 200 years in the future and there are four leading civilizations. We’ve been working really hard on bringing this virtual world to reality! See how it’s looking:
6. The Robotos Workshop
The Robotos Workshop is a place where different experiments with botos happen. The workshop opened up for various purposes:
Suit Up
We released 25+ free skins to suit up your boto for different holidays, or just for fun!
Banner Builder
The banner builder allows you to create and customize a Twitter Banner with your Robotos. Choose a template, include a specific boto, randomize, pick a color, download and then use it as your Twitter or Discord PFP!
There are 12 banner design to pick from! And you can even load other NFTs like Deadfellaz and Cool Cats.
Family Portraits
After launching Robopets, Family portraits became a reality. This is available for Roboto + Robopet Matching IDs.
7. Your Stuff
If you hold a Roboto or Robopet, you can gain access to all the different file formats from Your Stuff. You’ll find the following file formats available to every Robopet that you own. All PNGs are available with transparent backgrounds as well as the NFTs’ original background color.
What file formats can you access?
- GIF: an animated version of your NFT.
- SVG: a resolution-free version of your NFT in vector format.
- Head-only PNG: Your NFT’s head (perfect for PFPs).
- Full PNG: an entire NFT, not animated.
- Landscape PNG: a horizontal image has the proportions to use on social media banners, TV backgrounds, slides, or anything that has a 16:9 proportion.
- Portrait PNG: This vertical image has the proportions for Instagram stories or as a phone background.
How can you Suit Up your boto?
- Go to Your Stuff
- Connect your wallet
- See all your robots and click on a card
- Now you’ll see a bunch of different image versions of your boto, including an SVG file (vector, baby!) and an avatar with just the head.
8. Tech Specs Sheet for Every Roboto
We created a downloadable spec sheet of your boto, that’s available on the Your Stuff section. Here you will see all the traits that form your Roboto so that you can have a deeper connection with them.
9. Many Collaborations
TIME x Robotos
We made these art pieces thinking of all our community and of all the fantastic things that we had been planning to do with TIME. There were 5 different pieces inspired by our amazing community.
These pieces were intended to serve as a commemoration of the collaboration between TIME and Robotos. Best part? These free pieces were all ERC-1155 on ETH Mainnet… which shows the commitment to the NFT community.
Amrit x Robotos
We collaborated with Amrit Pal Singh to create 100 pieces of a Cyborgo available for minting from Thursday Oct. 7.
Brian Morris x Robotos
We collaborated with Brian Morris to create a limited edition of 50 pieces at 0.2 ETH each. With a Profit split: 60% to the artist, Brian Morris & 40% donated to Dreams for Schools. Their programs inspire and educate students to be STEM and Computer Science literate to become the critical thinkers, creative leaders, and technologists of tomorrow.
Dario De Siena x Robotos
Dario de Siena and Pablo Stanley collaborated to create two pieces of 50 editions each. Many of these pieces were given away to Roboto collectors.
9. Airdrops for Collectors
Robotos x Deadfellaz collab
Robotos x Deadfellaz and Infected Roboto #4 spooky airdrops were a special spooky Halloween airdrop to wallets that collect at least 1 Roboto & 1 Deadfella. There were 2 versions!
Mechi Bazan x Robotos
Mechi Bazan x Robotos is the first commission with an artist outside of the NFT ecosystem. We believe commissions like this one are vital to open the doors to new collectors and talent.
Our collectors received one edition of Ichika, a Punkboto living in the streets of Akihabara — the undisputed center of anime culture in Japan. This richly colored art piece is an edgy interpretation of the hyper-futuristic Robotoland with tremendous anime influences, a whole vibe!
New Year’s Airdrop by Pablo Stanley
There are four different pieces inspired by Piratebotos, Astrobotos, Cyborgos, and Punkbotos. These are pieces that were created live on our Discord and airdropped to collectors with Roboto + Robopet matching IDs.
10. Merch Store
We opened the Roboto Shop! Where you can find mugs, soft cotton sweatshirts, our iconic Charlie Cat hoodie, glossy stickers, and more. Cotton-based clothing, about silicon-based botos, for your carbon-based body.
11. Emojibotos
We designed a set of 10 custom Emojibotos for Discord so that you can express yourself the beep-boop way. We also gave full access to all the layers and vectors on Figma and the file was duplicated more than 700 times. We also launched them in Open Sea. Feel free to remix, reuse, animate, or whatever you want to do with these emojibotos with this file.
12. IRL Events for Robotos
