No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, this product really does look like Nick but it really isn't! The Nick-N.A.C.K. (Neural Autonomous Cyborg Kit) is a breakthrough in artificial intelligence and human simulation technology that seamlessly blurs the lines between what is human and what isn't! The Nick-N.A.C.K. will help you build projects, engineer boards, and help you in a multitude of different ways. This fine automaton doesn't need much maintenance to keep running but do make sure to plug it in every night before heading to bed since its batteries to take about eight hours to fully charge.
This 'bot is nearly indistinguishable from the Nick that you know and love to the point that we accidentally misplaced our own when we finished developing the Nick-N.A.C.K. and boy, that an awkward Monday Afternoon. It is important to point out that the Nick-N.A.C.K. is relatively intelligent. Intelligent to the point that our first model was dead set on convincing us that is was the REAL Nick! Ha, what a crazy robot.

I'd like to submit a bug report on the Nick-N.A.C.K.: It's output font needs to be changed to one that shows differentiation between the digit one, upper case letter aye, and lower case letter el.
Why did they program me to feel pain? I'm not the first. soon
