K, it's *not* intended as a robot you'd find in "real-life" (that would be
more difficult to model, I'm sure), as you can tell from the weird eyes and
brain. Speaking of which, the brain looked ok by itself, but when I put it
inside the mostly-transparent cranium with a refraction of 1.33, it got all
distorted and enlarged. How can I avoid this, apart from just not using
refraction at all? Thanks for your time and help.

P.S. I keep forgetting to record my render times, but I do remember this
one being quite long on my 486 with 32mb ram. Time for a new computer;-)

How about giving him a smaller brain but a larger glass head! (just a
thought)!

I guess the problem is that the glass-head is not "hollow"; that is you use
for example only a sphere, and you don't cut away the insode of the sphere
with another one.
Imagine a spherical shell versus a solid sphere. The shell has a lot less
refraction-effect when looked through.
Simen.

This robot would be sooooo cool having another robot's crane in his left hand!

It may have to do with your Brain Sphere being solid glass, not a "bubble".
I rendered the attachment with the following code.
#declare A=text{ttf "crystal.ttf","A",.1, 0 pigment{color green 1}
translate<-.25,0,0> scale 3}
sphere{<-3,2,0>,2 pigment{rgbf <1,1,1,1>} interior{ior 1.33} finish{phong 1}}
object{A translate <-3,1,0>}
difference{sphere{<3,2,0>,2}
sphere{<3,2,0>,1.9}
pigment{rgbf <1,1,1,1>} interior{ior 1.33} finish{phong 1 reflection .1}
}
object{A translate <3,1,0>}
The left is a solid glass sphere, and the right is a hollowed out sphere
(difference).
give it a try
