The robot is named Sally. Five foot two, seated, silicone-skinned, long brown hair, and what the Albany Times Union described as bee-stung lips suggesting Angelina Jolie. Salamanca City Central School District agreed to pay $57,590 for her, plus $1,990 a year for software updates and for the controller that loads approved content. She was scheduled to greet eleventh and twelfth graders this month.
