Wandering Fel

Before you enter the exhibition, there are restrictions to follow. Non-adherence to the restrictions will lead you to being restrained by Bad Badzt Maru (which somehow I don't really feel reluctant toward this idea. I mean, Bad Badzt Maru is kinda cutely annoying).

If the restrictions do not stop you, probably these laws will. Please obey those while you are visiting Sanrio Robotics. Oh my gawd, can I work here for real?

Robot Kitty was not started in a day, Hello Kitty did her own study for a long time before she develops Sanrio Robotics. 

The work has not always been easy. Hello Kitty experienced a number of failures too. For instance an apple-looking machine who end up consuming the apples instead of...okay, I don't really know what the machine is supposed to do. XD

Is Hello Kitty your favorite Sanrio character too? 

Find great hotel deals in Taipei here. 

The ticket price to enter the exhibition varies depending on whether you want to buy the robot kitty or not (yes, you can buy it and add accessories accordingly to your robot). If you simply want to go in and madly take picture of everything cute (like me), the ticket price is 300 NTD.

With the ticket in hands, we are ready to visit Sanrio Robotics Institute. =)

There's the assembly manual for Robot Kitty. If you buy the robot, you don't have assembly it yourself though. So don't worry if it seems complicated on the picture. =P

We begin the tour by visiting the production team of Robot Kitty, led by Bad Badzt Maru. I was crazily in love with this character in primary school. I even begged my parents to buy me a Bad Badzt Maru watch. XD

The institute have their own Quality Control teams, which is lead by a team of Kero Kero Keroppi. Awww! 

And they have a work schedule. Hahaha. So creative and cute at the same time. 

The components for the assembly are being prepared at the Component Department.

Now we just need to find the "magic button" somewhere in the lab.

Voila! Hello Kitty with wings. =)

The pictures that I've shown above are just the small fraction of what you will see inside. So if you are interested in the exhibition, you can go to Songshan Cultural and Creative Park (see A) by taking the MRT to either Taipei City Hall Station or Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall Station. The place is within walking distance from both stations. What are you waiting for? =)
