The same robot was used by Sylvester hunting Speedy Gonzales in a 1964 cartoon, Nuts and Volts. The scene where the lower half of its body fell apart and parts fell out of its sockets like a person accidentally dropping its pants was also reused.
Carl Stalling put a futuristic spin on the familiar What's Up, Doc opening theme.
The music heard when Elmer Fudd reads the robot's instruction manual was featured on the album "The Carl Stalling Project: Music From Warner Bros. Cartoons 1936-1958". It is part of the "Various Cues From Bugs Bunny Films" track.
The robot misidentifies a donkey and Elmer Fudd as a rabbit. This learning problem is common for modern AIs and is called "brittleness " because it is easily broken. Only after a training period of several examples does the AI learns what a rabbit looks like and becomes less brittle. It is unlikely the writers knew of this concept in the 1950's .
Bugs literally throws a monkey wrench (or a spanner, in Great Britain) into the robot's works. A popular phrase at the time was Don't throw a monkey wrench into things, meaning don't mess things up.
