Morbius Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 You choose!! Thanks for the compliment I Robot, . although I've been collecting 'bots for about 40 years now, I've picked up more knowledge in the past 11 years or so off this site than I did perusing all those books that Joe was going through with you at his museum. As far as the Robbys go, no one on this planet has more knowledge on them than the ROBOTHUNTER. I suspect you discovered that right away. Also, congrats on getting hold of that old mag that Pat had with his collection article and pics from its height of perfection, the 'added comments' by Pat and Dr. Atomic are pure gold! You and I know that only 2 of those inscribed copies exist.(Actually it's Kelly's not mine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Robot Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I love my BS12 Alphabot John....thank-you very much! He's already made a few trips across the living room floor, much to the delight of myself, and our cats! Many thanks to everyone who donated the great swag and raffle items as well!!!!! The raffle after supper at The Diner was a fun end to a great evening.The LIS B9 sweats I won are right up my alley Leon, cheers! Only issue is....my wife has claimed them for her own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly learned more from people like yourself in 4 days at Botstock than I could have imagined. I'm so thankful for the Alphadrome site and the wealth of knowledge and data available here from so many contributors. What impressed me the most was how eager people were to help and encourage newbies like myself and I came away from Botstock so much wiser than when I arrived(if my brain will retain the information)Yes, meeting ROBOTHUNTER, for a Robby collector like myself was incredibly fortuitous! You are so right about our copies of that magazine with the 'added comments', they are priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Glad you had a great time at BS 12 I robot, I wish I could have been there this year but Jury duty called. As for the BS 12 alphabots they are what we call Dollar store bots. A few years back we had a Dollar store robot build here on Alphadrome, every one that wanted could make anything they wanted from stuff they could by from a dollar store, So when I saw that my local dollar stores had these wind up santa's and colored card stock and glue and plastic chrome claw type shapes I just had to go for it. The printer ink was not from the dollar store but the rest was. Glad you liked the little guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe K. Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 The LIS B9 sweats I won are right up my alley Leon, cheers! Only issue is....my wife has claimed them for her own Help me remember. Who won the hoodies? These three, beautifully embroidered pieces waited an entire year to be included in the raffle. Leon originally sent them for BotStock XI, but, unfortunately, they arrived a day after everyone went home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit noisy and the noise causes him to turn on his own at times, but he still responds to the clacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
