I agree that it makes the most sense that Cambot came with the SOL communications equipment. But, I also recall that some of the early KTMA shows had Joel talking to the camera like a 'hello is anyone out there, can you hear me' type thing. I think the best 'theory' is that the camera came with the ship, but as Diet Kolos suggests, Joel tweaked him into the friendly bot that he was.
I do agree though with the sentiment that no bots should be controlled by the Mads. All the bots are up on the SOL and are part of team SOL--i.e. trapped in space to watch cheesy movies along with Joel/Mike/etc.

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? Joel seems to be sticking pretty closely to the classic formula, and we know that there are only two main cast members as bot voices. So, I would guess these new bots would be for various host segments, with possibly an occasional surprise pop up in the theater like they've done with Gypsy or Pearl in the past. Kinga having bots is an interesting thought. But, bots are kind of an SOL thing, aren't they? Speaking of new bots though, originally Joel 'made' the bots (from those special parts) and when Mike came along, he was shown to definitely not be a tinkerer. So does that mean that Johan's role is going to play closer to a new Joel than a new Mike?

I do get the impression that Jonah will be a tinkerer like Joel. But I don't think that will necessarily translate to him being more like Joel in general. Maybe he'll have some of both Joel and Mike, being like a father to the 'bots he has created but a friend/butt-monkey to Crow and Servo?

It seems to me that Joel is creating several new 'bots and if they are all on the SOL things could get crowded. So I for one won't mind if he gives one or two of 'em to the Mads.

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. In the interest of reading waay too much into this, I'll say that since Cambot doesn't interact with the other SOL residents much, maybe he is not a "robot friend" and so wasn't built by Joel? Just a thought I had which I think has absolutely no validity but still wanted to mention.

Joel said updates wouldn't be weekly from now on, so it's not surprising.
But I'm still wondering what that big update he said he couldn't do last week was.

Yeah, I don't mind that they're not weekly all the time. But, it's a little disappointing that the 3 quick ones he did do were all fluff. He should really stop doing that "I have bigger news that I can't tell now" thing. He should just post when he can as much as he can/wants, and try not to let it go more than a month between any one update.

That seems like a really great hire. And like Joel said, he does seem like one of us

Meh I was hoping for Gallagher. I hear him and Joel are like besties!
Serious talk now, sounds like Elliot might be the right man for the job.
