Ben Rodríguez is a robot, the son of Bender Bending Rodríguez and Bev, the Planet Express soda machine.[1]
He is named after his father, using the first syllable of his father's first name. He shares similar physical traits with his father, with the exception of his rectangular torso, presumably inherited from his mother. However, due to his mother not having arms, he lacks his father's talent in bending. A bending card cannot be installed into him either, as he only has one expansion slot, which holds his memory card (7ACV01).
