Vandroid
At the height of the 1970s custom vanning craze, rock star mechanic Chuck Carducci was on top of the world. But by 1984, vanning was all but dead. Now, hooked on dust and broke as a joke, Carducci is contacted by an old roommate from his MIT days to team up on a new project using cutting-edge artificial intelligence. With salvaged electronics from NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, high-performance van parts and a Plutonium ion battery Chuck puts his entire life into building a robot so human, yet so powerful, it can only be called: Vandroid.
