Robots on 66 is a new initiative kickstarted by Mary Beth Babcock, founder of Buck Atom’s Cosmic Curios in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is carried out by a partnership between Oklahoma Route 66 Centennial Commission and Sawyer Manufacturing. The project aims to add fun robot statues to popular Oklahoma Route 66 attractions as a lead up to the Route 66 centennial in 2026.
You can currently find two of these big robots in Oklahoma, but hopefully there will be more springing up soon.
