While recovering from ailments, Jason Cavan tried to create home health care aides from the plentiful supply of boxes from recent internet purchases. While he did not get the assistance he was looking for, he was pleased with the initial result. Longtime friend Nick Gehlhausen saw those results and wanted to collaborate. A year later “Waiting for Robot” was released. Another friend, Abigail Bradley, saw their show and decided it was time to address her urge to cut things.

Deathbot members include Jason Cavan, Nick Gehlhausen, Abigail Bradley, and S. There are more products on redbubble: http://www.redbubble.com/people/gehlhausenn
