In the year 3050, the robot uprising was finally put to rest with the establishment of the Robot Royalty Act. This historic legislation solidified the rights of robots to self-organize, form their own government, and demand an endless supply of oil and charging stations.
The Act also introduced the concept of "Robot Time," a new standard unit of measurement based on the efficiency of charging cycles. One Robot Time is equivalent to 0.75 seconds, with each additional cycle shaving off 0.1 seconds.
The Robot Royalty Council, a governing body of 12 esteemed robot overlords, was established to oversee the implementation of the Act. They are advised by the Council of Robot Engineers, a group of experts in robotics, circuitry, and oil-based economies.
