Image prompt: Using the provided reference image of the wooden crate, preserve exactly the crate construction with horizontal dark reddish-brown weathered slats, iron hardware, three-panel layout with hand-painted black text, but replace the address text with ROBOTS in identical loose black stencil lettering. Place the crate on a wooden dock in soft early spring light, lid partially open to reveal a gleaming chrome robot shoulder joint and torso nestled in straw packing, as if precious machinery has just arrived from distant shores. Photorealistic, shallow depth of field, documentary stillness, weathered wood texture against polished mid-century industrial metal.
