What're your favorite canons? Have a fluffy velociraptor while you think about it.

A robotics student and sci-fi gamer, eh? Interesting. Let me see if I have anything for you:

*rummages in bag of holding*
Here, have a Porygon! Is it an animal? It is a robot? Is it some type of hybrid! Maybe you could figure it out.

Hope you've guessed my name!

. . . I mean, it's written right up there . . .

Anyway, have a nonspecific ancient artifact of unknown origin that probably has mystical properties to some degree.

I like you. Your good sense of humor and your knowledge of the materials makes me think you'll fit in quite well here.

Also, you're studying robotics, and my favorite Star Trek character is an android. Of course, Star Trek science is fairly soft (on a scale from "feather bed" to "granite", I'd say it's mud - there's some rock in there, but mostly it's just squishy and fun to play with), so I doubt it would be relevant, but still, robotics is very cool.

Gift…gift…Here, have a fluffy hat in whatever color/pattern you choose.

Hello and greetings. I hereby give you a lined Infinite Notebook with urple covers and wilver binding to use at your own discretion. Beware your eyes.

Greetings, I am platypus. I, or rather we, are the collective intellect of every platypus in the galaxy. On the topic of robotics, could a conductive nanobot gel be used for an artifical brain? I've made drafts, but would like to ask someone currently learning the field. Also, would brain cells grown in a nutrient fluid serve as better autopilots, because they can adapt to new circumstances?

It's nice to meet you! I'm Len, and I have no impressive-sounding credentials whatsoever, and unless your claim to poor taste is more than self-depricating humor, we don't have much in common besides the obvious affinity for books. That said, have an urple lawn ornament vaguely resembling a tuatara and a box of gently used novels for your housewarming gifts. :)

Is your fleet in space or on water? I am Dark Lord Aakmal, Lord of Orcs of Bukit Kepayan, LawReader of the Orcs, and Nominal Servant of Morgoth. If by any chance you require fictional sails, I'll be happy to sell a few dozen yards square of Shelobsilk, guarenteed not to be cut by a sword or cannon, or 30% discount on next purchase.

I give you a virtual plate of cymbal, good for waking up people from their bunkbeds. Just find somewhere else to bang it to, I forgot where the other one went.

Welcome to the PPC! If you've been lurking, you know to take your shoes off and leave your sanity at the door. Remember, there is no sanity here whatsoever.

As a welcome gift, I'll give you some music by Messiaen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a63loXj_XP4

Welcome to our community. You can leave your sanity by the door, it's not needed here. Please make sure to read The Constitution. The wiki you seem to know about, and I assume you've read the Original Series...?
Anyway, what are your fandoms? Also, have this cup of tea. Just don't let the leaves eat you.
