I 3D print the robot that is the child of me and the robot,<br> I don\u2019t see any complications.\u2019",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"technology\",<br>\"info\",<br>\"ogejoy\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcoFsHqFnfisMy7TL7DGQW8fPqMTuupCFNpf5kLGKAwRA\/IMG-20171221-WA0002.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmPrmbMKw9NaxoMqvh1anaYz41WrP1Sz47DVmc32eetJs3\/IMG-20171221-WA0000.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmRZk8pXvB9QteGuW4nEkHeTkqQbhJ3XNvuiiKL6CcE6Lt\/IMG-20171221-WA0001.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
