We too are overcome with robots. Is it a boy thing? I'm embracing it either way.
You should check out the robot alphabet posters by CreativeNeesh on etsy – I have one for my little girl's nursery (girls can like robots too!!)
If you are looking for any ideas on a robot themed birthday – we just did one for a 4 year old boy and it was a lot of fun.

These are rad!! I love this style.
Have you seen Jeanie & Jewell's alphabet? She just finished the series this week. They are GORGEOUS. I'm so jealous of her talent.
OH! I forgot to give you the link to her blog:
