Does not compute: The 10 most annoying kid + robot team-ups

Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform (DARYL)
The military -- those crazy dudes are always spending taxpayers' money on newer and more exciting ways to kill people, as if we haven't been managing it perfectly well for thousands of years. In the 1980s, the big wheeze was apparently gun-totin' robots -- although it seemed that some of the R&D budget should have been spent on better fencing, because those pesky machines were always legging it.

Irritating wiseacre Johnny 5 was designed to carry nuclear bombs behind enemy lines, which even we knew was stupid, and we couldn't get food into our own mouths. Even worse was the Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform. A programme to create the perfect soldier might have set out to develop a giant, invincible metal killdozer with miniguns for eyes and a flamethrower in each nipple, but probably not a pasty little kid.

DARYL, played by Barett Oliver, earns double irritation points by being both a robot and an annoying kid. No wonder they wanted to destroy him.
