TROYBOT MURAL
Located under Troy’s Green Island Bridge, the original mural—which depicts TroyBot coming to the aid of the city after a storm—was designed by TroyBot creator Ben Karis and painted by volunteers organized by Tap Inc in the summer of 2014. After suffering damage, the mural was repainted by regional muralist Kevin Clark in the fall of 2020.
ENCHANTED CITY FESTIVAL
The Enchanted City steampunk festival inspired a crew from the Tech Valley Center of Gravity to create a working mechanical model of TroyBot’s upper half to the delight of festival-goers in the Fall of 2017.
TROYBOT BLONDE ALE
Two of Troy’s finest brewing institutions, Brown’s Brewing Co. and Rare Form Brewing, joined forces in 2016 to create this limited run of summer ale. Troy Cloth and Paper also printed a limited run of tees to celebrate the occasion.
TROY CULTURAL ALLIANCE
TroyBot heralded an event launching the Troy Cultural Alliance, an umbrella organization for Troy-based arts and cultural organizations with a mission to foster collaboration between various cultural groups and creative individuals.
TROYBOT GEOCACHE
The Troy Cultural Alliance launched a “geocaching” hunt in conjunction with the Tech Valley Center of Gravity during the 2016 Flag Day Parade to promote Troy’s Bicentennial Celebration. TroyBot was included as a stamp that geocache hunters could find and add to their “passport” during the event .
