Though robots trump humans with their lack of messy emotions or night terrors, their only path to a perfect tan runs through either a bucket of brown paint or a rust-inducing dip in the ocean. Celebrate the triumph of man over machine with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $100 worth of tanning services at Sunrise Tanning, located in Delmar.

Sunrise Tanning's well-informed staff administers darkened tones to pallid patrons using the latest in Soltron tanning-bed technology. Would-be bronzers discover the warmth of their own personal suns during a 10-session level-one package, establishing a base in advance of trips to the beach, summer weddings, or re-enactments of Civil War-era spring breaks. Over the course of multiple basks beneath the entry-level Soltron Kiss's 32 reflector lamps, skin browns under the sultry stares of 120-watt bulbs ($10/session). Patrons can also explore the accoutrements of Sunrise Tanning's fleet of advanced beds, accenting cheeks with the Hot Pepper Facials' three dedicated facial lamps ($12/session) or undergoing a stand-up session with the walk-in Space Cab's four dozen vertical lamps ($14/session). Reach the peak of tanning totality with a 12-minute jaunt in the Soltron XL high-pressure bed, which ensures even, all-over color with spaghetti-lamp shoulder tanners, a neck-focused reflex unit, and a pair of palm-darkening tanning mittens ($25/session).
