Kawaii Useless Robot - 2024 Edition

This is a kawaii (cute in Japanese) useless robot that makes cute facial expression and moves depending on its emotion. The only function of this robot is when you push the switch to its "ON" position, it turn itself off by pushing the switch back to the "OFF" position.

These category of robots are first introduced by a Japanese maker named 回路師（Kairoshi）back in 2012 on Niconico, but he didn't open source his design. That is why 12 years later, I am building myself a replica with modern components and design technologies.

Origin of idea: 全力でスイッチをONするとOFFするロボットと戦ってみた
