JeanneSager — Fri, 22 May 2009 20:31:00 GMT

In a household where Yo Gabba Gabba's Plex reigns supreme, it's been a tough row to hoe with the slim pickings for female robot fans out there.

Hello Robotcha, a company conceived under the direction of its owners' three-year-old son. It's a place where robots and ice cream are omnipresent, and we've finally found robots for every kid's futuristic fantasy. Switch the nameplate on your front door to the Jetsons, because the future is here and if it strikes your fancy, it comes in pink, light green and even ruffles.

The company with "shirts for kids who like robots" - because what kid doesn't? - Robotcha sports boxy designs that come from a whole new box. Robots with ice cream cones, green bots planting flowers (the GrowBot), and friendly automatons waving howdy. Suddenly, we don't even care if it will clean our bathroom for us; at least these robots turn out our kids looking good.

Get a hoodie for her, a tee for him and throw one in the pile for Dad (Father's Day is coming, hint, hint) straight from Robotcha.

Just one look at these little track shorts, and it's June, the end of first grade. Summer's almost here, and my little legs are loving the sun's kisses.
