Announcing the latest technology in autonomous mining - Robbie. The concept
is based off of Johnny 5 from "Short Circuit" in the mid '80's and the
Spy-Bot set, also from the mid '80's.

Robbie features articulated shoulders, elbows and wrists for maximum range
of motion. Its midsection is telescopic for maximum maneuverability and
stability underground. It can be fitted with a variety of tools through the
use of highly toleranced wrist fittings. Robbie comes standard with chain
saw, hammer drill and clamping attachements. Other attachements can be
engineered to customer specifications upon request.

Full instructions are available when moderated:

(...) Just an update... Since people generally tend to respond better to REAL pictures rather than run-of-the-mill renderings, I've uploaded some pics of the real Robbie. After moderation: (URL) (22 years ago, 21-Feb-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
