Where does the chrome code come from?

Robot Play is a HankyCode Original — a word the 1970s code never had. In the left pocket, chrome says robot controller; in the right, robot or drone. Written in 2026 on the same grammar the leather bars built, so a new identity can be worn the way the old ones were.
