Go ahead -- I'm happy to pull any of them apart if the pictures weren't clear.
I'm fond of the thin-bot, myself, but you can't relaly make out much of the
detail from the black pieces.

I like the comedic aspects of a couple of your creations...I haven't
experimented w/ robots in years...

Well, pretty much every set I owned became part of a spaceship, base, or crash
site at some point.


Gee....and I thought I was original...lol...your first gray robot is almost
exactly what I used to make....I even have 20 of them in storage
somewhere....my only difference was that I used a 2x2x2 gray landing gear
piece for added height and I didn't use the 1x2 on top...

I was a pretty anal-retentive kid, so all the robots had to fit in the same
space as a sitting astronaut: that way they could pilot the ship back home when
the human inevitably broke a leg in his living room crash-landing.  :-)

I derived my inspiration from Lost in Space episodes that were aired late
at night when I was a child.  I made a similar version resembling the robots
in Disney's black hole....I always wanted to build a red Maximillian from
that movie....

YES!  Oooh, I think I have a new mission...


I even took a swing at a Doctor Who Dalek when PBS in Buffalo started airing
it in 1979....

Take a look at:

Hmmm... wonder if I could a K-9...

okay enough of my early "nerdom"

Luckily, some of use never outgrew the nerddom.  We just married other nerds.
