"Hey everyone, we're gonna make the SOL look even more Freudian!!!" Yeah, it does look a little awkward if they're gonna twist the end domes like that. But I think maybe it wouldn't be as bad if they twist the end part only when Jonah & the bots are in the theater. Like maybe during the door sequence, the #1 door could turn 45 degrees before unlocking as if it were a part of the whole theater mechanically turning to that position when they need it. (and vise versa when exiting). That way it could still have the same old look when the SOL's exterior is shown by Rocket Number Nine during host segments. That's what I'd do at least.

That's actually a really good idea. Tweet that to Joel.

Thanks, maybe I would if I actually had a Twitter to use. Any of you guys are welcome to share the idea with him though.

I like it!

I'm a bit late but I thought I'd leave my idea as a comment on the Kickstarter update itself, in case Joel and the rest see it there.

We have update sign again! Joel mentions people's comments that the new SOL looks phallic, and then talks about Cambot. Specifically, he writes what all the Cambot versions he designed were made out of, and offered a sneak peak of the new one. Also he apparently has design ideas for Kinga's home for some reason. Maybe that will be her version of Deep 13? Anyway do you think it would be ok if I shared what the KTMA cambot was made out of on the thread about it? I don't know if that's something Joel wants people who aren't backers to know. I know I originally thought he was just talking about images but now I'm not sure.

I know I originally thought he was just talking about images but now I'm not sure. Eventually everything will be public anyway. KTMA Cambot is nearly 30 years old so I don't think his design necessarily needs to stay secret. There's so many backers that now it's a badly kept secret anyway.

I'm guessing that everyone here is a backer.
Another short but fun update. I've had about my fill of Mr. Waverly though. My pessimistic side feels like Joel is just filling space with stuff about him cuz he doesn't really want to talk about anything else.

I'm wondering how all these new 'bots will fit in. Will they be like Gypsy and only appear in host segments, will there be more riffers in the theater, or will riffers take turns in the theater? And will some belong to Kinga?

Now, getting upset about the lore of MST3K is pretty silly, I know. But Joel's notion of Cambot "working for" the Mads strikes me as very odd. I was always under the impression that Joel built Cambot along with the other 'bots. He always seemed to be on the side of the riffers, obeying the Rocket Number 9 request and so on. Didn't Cambot even get in on the riffing twice? I seem to recall him putting up a silly graphic once, along with shedding tears after some surveillance cameras got blasted in one flick. I never got the impression that Cambot was there to monitor the experiment for the Mads, but rather was built for the purpose of being Joel (and later Mike's) attempt to contact anyone else on Earth, to show them what they're being subjected to.

That was in The Sidehackers. He put up a score like ESPN or something.

I always thought Cambot came equipped on the SOL, and was originally manufactured by Gizmonic, like Gypsy, but Joel tinkered with them to make them more friendly.

Cambot is a communication device between Joel and the Mads, so I always figured that he was created by the Mads for that purpose, if nothing else other than a basic camera drone. If Joel "built" him like the opening suggests, I imagine Joel was screwing around with that camera and made a bot around it.
