Bingo and mini-Bingo were concepts for possible future robots. One concept was a large body that could be used in a building security role. On the other end was a smaller -- soda can sized -- bot that would suitable for running around the floors in homes.

From Matthew Mallet:<blockquote>"miniBINGO is a black iPhone 7 with polymer clay modeled over the top of a thin clear plastic lining. When miniBINGO is placed on a flat surface, it leans against a large piece of clay as a stand attached to what looks like an hourglass conveyer roller. The clay wraps around the front of the iPhone in a set of 3 diagonal partitions from top corner towards the bottom corner. Each of these pieces of clay have cuts giving it a sharper modern look. When he is plugged in on normal boot he displays the name of the device as miniBINGO."

"Fun fact: miniBINGO was never meant to be a finished robot. It was a way to show character design from idea to working prototype."</blockquote>

Below are some exploratory ideas. Note: these are not what the robot would have looked like; they were trying out ideas for people to respond to and help iteratively craft the look.

From Harald Belker's site:<blockquote>The idea of having a self-navigating and self-balancing robot in the house was going to be the evolution to the current household smart speaker systems. In our mind it could only succeed if it moves around in a smooth and natural looking way.

A self-balancing robot would address these issues, but it also created a long list of mechanical issues that come with it.

A larger office version would have three wheels but still imitate motion by tilting forward. This device would be the ideal office helper / mule. (Hans Belker)</blockquote><a ~~good few more>~~
