The '''Visor Robot''' is a futuristic robot that was invented by [[Strong Bad]] while making up stories at the [[Homestarloween Party]]. In [[Strong Sad]]'s version of the story, the robot had a human brain which belonged to an old man who was the father of [[The Sad Kids]]. He is a large, humanoid robot with a prominent groove on his torso and a single antenna on top of his head, in addition to the red visor that gives him his name. Inside the robot's head there is a red light bulb that makes the visor light up when talking. He has been known to shoot lasers out of his visor with a loud "[[VOIP]]". In his testimonial for [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage]], he claims that the mortgage company helped consolidate his "whole life into this tiny box."

The Visor Robot's voice in [[Everybody to the Limit]] comes from {{w|PlainTalk|Macintosh's Zarvox}}, while his voice in [[Senor Mortgage]] is derived from {{w|Microsoft text-to-speech voices|Microsoft Sam}}. However, despite the fact that the former is [[Powered by The Cheat]] and the latter is in the main universe, he reverts to the former voice in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]].

The Visor Robot has never been unambiguously named on the website: Strong Bad referred to it as "the robot" in his story, and later [[Senor Cardgage]] called it "Valerie" in a commercial for [[Senor Mortgage|Senor Cardgage Mortgage]]; it also appeared with the label "[[fhqwhgads]] robot" in the [[Sketchbook 2005#SK-2005-04-28|Weekly Sketchbook]] after its brief appearance in [[Everybody to the Limit]]. In the [[Everything Else, Volume 2|DVD]] commentary for [[Homestarloween Party]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] revealed that although they never specifically named the robot, they now refer to it by the name Visor Robot because of the longtime usage of the name by this wiki.

[[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies#Bosses|Stlunko]], a boss from the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]], bears a strong resemblance to the Visor Robot. Therefore, it is possible that Stlunko is the Robot's [[20X6]] counterpart.

The Visor Robot was not referred to as such on the website until [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], more than fifteen years after its first appearaance. Strong Bad and the other Halloween storytellers simply referred to it as "the robot". [[Senor Cardgage]] called it "Valerie" in [[Senor Mortgage|a commercial]] for [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage]], though the robot emphatically denied this was its name. It was labeled as "[[Fhqwhgads|fhqwhgads]] robot" in the [[Sketchbook 2005#SK-2005-04-28|Weekly Sketchbook]], due to its brief appearance in [[Everybody to the Limit]].
