The narrator, William, has a fear of getting his hair cut due to traumatic childhood experiences at Supercuts. To overcome this, he decides to build a robot to cut his hair. He visits his old job and "borrows" a robot called the Lobster, designed for bomb disposal and surgery. With the help of his coworker James, they adapt the robot to hold scissors and a buzzer attachment. After some trial and error, they successfully use the robot to give William a haircut, albeit a somewhat uneven one. William attributes the robot's success to its precision and delicate nature.
