Yes the pilot does explain most of the "why" of Bender. But if you remember, when Leela is in the robot wax museum, she puts on goggles that see through the eyes of a bending unit. She sees all people as "theft targets," so maybe he was built a little evil. ;-)

The character Bender Rodriguez in Futurama is a robot. He was built and programmed by Mom Corp. When he popped off the assembly line, was he programmed to be evil (i.e. his adorably greedy, misanthropic self), or was this something that he learned/picked up from his experiences? Essentially, how does nature vs. nurture work for robots? Is it all preset in them from creation, or do they have free will or a learning capability?
