Geek Club and CircuitMess have created a functional replica of one of Rick and Morty’s most tragic characters — the Butter Bot — with new capabilities so the bot is more than just a breakfast butler. With a camera, working treads, and AI capabilities, this Butter Bot can navigate the world, recognize your face, and chat with you.

The tiny robot is available for preorder now through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for $139, with delivery expected as early as August 2025. For aspiring Ricks, the Butter Bot is also available as part of a pricier $219 “Mad Scientist Pack” that includes a collection of upgradeable modules expanding its functionality.

With any crowdfunded product there’s always the risk of delays or delivery never happening, but the Kickstarter’s creators have already successfully completed several crowdfunding campaigns, including a buildable RC Batmobile, and a DIY mobile phone. It’s also officially licensed by Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP) so there’s no risk of the Kickstarter being abruptly shut down by WB’s lawyers.
