Personality[]
The Shlocko Dance-O-Matic Weather Robot is a machine that dances to make different kinds of weather, like rain and snow. It sometimes doesn't listen right away and can cause things to fall down by accident. It's also too literal, doing things like throwing a vacuum when it's told it's a "bucket of bolts". It's not always reliable and can be unpredictable, making it hard to use when needed.

Role[]
Rainy Day Robot[]
Roy Rooster encounters a salesman offering the Shlocko Dance-O-Matic Weather Robot, which can manipulate weather through specific dances. Roy, initially skeptical, witnesses demonstrations of the robot creating rain and snow. Convinced by its abilities, Roy purchases the robot to help solve the farm's water shortage. However, the robot's literal interpretation of commands leads to humorous mishaps, such as dropping objects like bolts and vacuums when Roy expresses frustration. Despite these challenges, the robot ultimately assists in thwarting Orson's brothers' attempt to steal vegetables by dropping 27 pianos on them. Roy later agrees to swap jobs with Orson, prompting the robot to initiate a dance for "trade jobs".
