So Tree Fae and I volunteered for Maker Faire here in KC today, and I met this guy who I'd seen on Pawn Stars trying to sell this very robot. Turns out he's from the KC area. I'd always wondered just how produced that Pawn Stars was, and I asked the guy about it. He confirmed what I had always figured...that it is totally scripted and produced. In the case of he and his robot, he had emailed the producers eight months before he finally was filmed, and was told to show up on a prearranged date to conduct his "transaction". He was interesting to talk to.
