A broken hunk of junk was dropped off by two Boston Dynamics engineers. From a glance, a streak of yellow can be seen and the model was too similar to one of their Spot models. A note was attached to one of its legs, with the logo of the Portland Pythons emblazoned on it. It read:
One of the engineers scratched her head, named Emily. "Wait, did we ever send out a model to a football team?" she asked in confusion. The other engineer, a man named Roberts, shrugged. "Who knows. But considering this model's statistics which I have just checked..." he looked at his phone, shocked at what he saw. "Well, a bit abysmal but the fact that it did get a pick-six, I think it has a potential." he chuckled, before looking at the other engineer. "So, what do you say? We fix it up, report to the higher-ups, and let it roam the ISFL? It has the intelligence to do so."
The female engineer sighed in annoyance. "Fine. God, a robot playing American football, how novel." After hours upon hours of rebuilding the model and upgrading its software, the higher-ups were notified of its exploits. Excited and happy that one of their signature robot models is doing something beyond belief, they greenlit the project, headed by the two engineers that were responsible for fixing them in the first place. After a quick contact to the ISFL offices about re-registering Spot RoboDog, as they christened it for the next prospect class, days later they got an email from the league office, notifying them of Spot's incoming matches for the Prospect Bowl.
Emily looked at the email, before snickering over to Roberts, showing what the league offices had sent them in horror.
Spot's going to Siberia.

Attached to this note is a Spot model our team had utilized late into the latest season of the DSFL. However, during our Ultimini run, it appears that one of its legs malfunctioned, and we were unable to field it properly. That, and the literal wear and tear the stud had endured up until that point. So we made a decision; we had to ship it back to you, for their sake. This model is very effective. Our modifications had allowed it to perform well in a short period of time. You can check its stats on the DSFL website.
Thanks,
The Portland Pythons.
