Robot's foot fetish evolves into a deeply foot related interest in macro/micro. It keeps suggesting to the scientists that it should have a much larger/smaller body for 'reasons' related to optimal performance and research potential. Robot gets flustered when asked to better explain their thinking on this. Scientists try to explain to it that making it at such large/small scales would be prohibitively expensive and difficult. Robot is adamant about the alteration of it's form's scale. Scientists think the robot is cute and endearing because of its firmly held interests and seriously look into landing the funding necessary to make its dreams come true.
