and Hello Kitty - shaped burger(100% pure beef). We don't just put another shrimp on the barbie, we grill Instructables Robot Burgers, the RoboBurger.
Note: No robots were harmed in the making of this Instructable.
You could just have an ordinary round shaped burger from an ordinary ho-hum burger joint or a square-shaped one like the one from Wendy'sdad's place or the tiny square-shaped ones with the hole in the middle like those from White C@stle. We want something uniquely shaped and in order to do that we need a custom patty press.
And be sure to wash it down with a Brooklyn Egg Cream Drink.

We need to get some thin but sturdy aluminum stock to form our "cookie cutter" or die cutter. You could scavenge sheet aluminum from a soda/pop can or if you have on hand some leftover aluminum roll roofing flashing.
Tools for fools...
Use tin snips or aviation snips to cut your stock. A straightedge and a marker to mark your cutlines. A file or some emery paper to deburr the rough edges. Pliers to help bend the metal. A flat metal fabricator tool (HVAC duct hand seamer or a metal edge forming tool or a metal bending brake if you are lucky) makes things easier but you can just use a hammer and a block of wood to form your edges. A drill and a pop-riveter with aluminum rivets. Use gloves when handling the metal so as not to accidentally cut yourself.
Cut a strip of metal about 3 inches wide. The length should be longer than the perimeter of the shape you will be making. You can test fit or estimate the length needed with a strip of paper.
On both edges, we will reinforce the cutter with a folded over edge. Create a 3/8th inch bend along the entire length and bend it until it is flattened out on the other side. The metal forming tool is great for making that edge. A seam plier is great for crimping flat the edge. If you do not have these tools, use any pliers to start the bend or hammer over the edge on a block of wood.

You have a lot of errors when you type.

Better than average. :D
I don't know why but I've been directed to a lot of instructables by you.
