robothut Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 This is part R-1 robot and part old fire truck toy. The very short You tube video will show the moving chemical gun / smoking action best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajEAO2ro6gw There is a flashing light on top the head, the eyes flash, the two lights on the metal FIRE ENGNINE chest display alternatly flash, the fire man is lit, the chemical gun moves back and forth as it smokes, there is a siren efect and bump and go action. There is a switch on the back of the head that alows the chemical gun and lights to turned off to save power if you want. I put in the 2 D cell battery holder in the back for the extra power needed for the smoker and added motor / light functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roboto Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 What a great Conversion this R-1 is. I love the fire ladder on his side the details make him stand out. That fireman blasting away is fantastic. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothunter Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 This is a really original and amazing looking robot, John! Just beautiful! And I really like the oxygen hoses coming around from the air bottles on the back to the front of the robot's hood or "helmet". Reminds me of my Rosko Astronaut. The low style of the "helmet hood" really blends well into the main body of the robot. Not common and so smooth looking. Great job, as always! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
