Coolbotz

Coolbotz is the name given to an organization, or rather group, that is headquartered in Campus, Jefferson. Coolbotz is not an actual corporation and as such, does not recieve an infobox.

History
The rise of robotics with the beginning of a new millennium in the 2000s saw artists hijack the trend of robotics to implement their own views. Usually, these robot customizations are extremely unauthorized and the companies may be (metaphorically) genocidal to reclaim it. Coolbotz is one of these kind of groups, but with a very weird way. Instead of directly buying them, they smuggle them from the neighboring factory ran by the Industrial Triumvirate, spice them up, and then auction them at neighboring valid places in and around Campus's territories. Sometimes, even the polaroid pictures they take are auctioned, like competent NFTs.

The robots in average auctions are customized by a local artist; Coolbotz handles their management and shipping, but not the designs themselves albeit the owner of the corporation being an artist themselves. This "new method" was pioneered by Coolbotz around the 2010s, and it is best safe to assume that similar groups across the country took their likenesses from Coolbotz.

Services
Coolbotz's services are robotics, albeit heavily customized and occasionally re-programmed for extra value purposes. Some of Coolbotz's personnel are infamous robot hackers, whom usually reprogram the robots on auction to fit with their styles and presumed personality. Rarely do Coolbotz keep some of the robots on auction, usually if they are in poor condition or the buyers are simply interested.

Coolbotz also makes "one-time" robots, which are usually gifted to people Coolbotz generally seems to respect, or sometimes gifted to enemies as a taunting measure.

Trivia

 * Coolbotz is based on the trend of "designer toys", which are toys (typically figurines) made by known artists. Examples include the Popaganda series, which are toys malformed in the artist (Ron English)'s personal vision, and the company Superplastic, which uses artists to texture vinyl figurines which are made in numbers. Designer toys are often based on popular culture.
