7	!! ''Dallas & Robo'' contains examples of:
8	* AcquiredErrorAtThePrinter: Uncle Danny and The Woodsman must go to the same printer, as they both get back items labeled "Monshiner".
9	* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Once Dallas gets a chance to race again, she starts being belittling her friends and co-workers. This may be a return to form, however, as her crew chief Robo notes her ego is back.
10	* ActionGirl: She prefers to let Robo do the fighting, but Dallas can handle herself in a fight.
11	* AIIsACrapshoot: Robo himself is stable, but other machines given sentience seem to either be suicidal or murderous.
12	* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: The Cannibal Bikers fit this trope, with [[TheApunkalypse Apunkalypse]] additions.
13	* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Those close to him treat Robo mostly the same as a human, but he tends to be shown disdain by others.
14	* ArtificialGravity: Everywhere, from the Georgia Overdrive to the Moon, seems to have normal Earth gravity.
15	* AsteroidMiners: The mine on Io is having labor-management relationship problems.
16	* BackupBluff: Dallas convinces the Stranger that Fat Paul is an actual threat.
17	* BadassBiker: Carol the Biker King got sentenced to a millennium long prison sentence for [[NoodleIncident "that little thing"]] she did, killed everyone on a prison transport and took over a group of man-eating space bikers after crushing their former leader. [[spoiler: She also had a plan to take over Mars, which almost worked.]]
18	* BadassDriver: Dallas. She regularly uses her race driving skills behind the wheel of the Georgia Overdrive.
