MaxPower Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Here's another whimsical John Rigg creation featuring Robert the Robot Jr. - and he ingeniously added a modified push-puppet robot in the shotgun seat too! But wait, there's more!! He also added a bump-and-go mechanism, gave Robert a lighted head, lighted eyes, and... A SMOKER! He even gave the 1970s Tootsietoy Roadster working headlights.

MaxPower Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 For mere mortals this would be a daunting task, for RobotHut it's a diversion from a major home remodeling project! I just stare in disbelief at what he routinely accomplishes. It boggles the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkrobotik Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Excellent creation. If I had that there's just one thing I'd add,,, the cigar out of Benders mouth and stick it in his mouth grill. Robert smoking a Cuban with added smoke,,very cool! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robothut Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 For the bump and go drive I used the gear box from a China PUFF PUFF locomotive. The smoker is from a Magic Mike, the bellows for the smoker is a sqeaker from one of my dogs toys that he chewed up. The light on top the head is a cut down red dome from a chief robot man repro, with a small lamp from a R-1 robot, the eyes lights are from a R-1 robot as well wired to be 1/2 power, the head lights are from some china toy wired to be 1/2 power as well. two C cells fit in a battery holder under the cars back trunk area.
