R-pod
All information is in development and subject to change.
An R-pod is a circular communication component fitted to the side of an android's head in place of a human ear. R-pods are a recognizable feature of androids in Zile City, including Roger, Stardance, and Mabel.
R-pods resemble flat discs or pucks. Roger's are black, with a matching lower skull casing connected to his robotic neck. Incoming radio speech can be heard through his R-pods.
