The solar-powered autonomous "Cool Robot" roves the world's ice sheets collecting data and mapping crevasses. It is shown here in Greenland.

The robot at rest, after a long day of construction. TJ picked up a pair of ultrasonic sensor units during a trip to Fry's, so they're probably the first sensor inputs that we'll use after the drive control circuit is wired up to the onboard computer. There's also a Sensaphone ISACC SCADA board, which will form the basis for other sensor I/O waiting in the wings to be installed.

Magnus Robot Fighter
By R. A. Jones
The times, they are a changing.
One of the most fondly remembered comic book series of the 1960s was “Magnus, Robot Fighter”. Set in the year 4000 A.D., the series centered on the heroic adventures of a young man named Magnus, who had been trained to shatter steel with his bare hands.
Magnus lived in a near-Utopian world in which sophisticated robots performed most physical labor – leaving mankind free to follow other pursuits. Occasionally, however, a robot would malfunction or fall under the control of evil men. When that happened, Magnus was called upon to stop them.
The book was a straight-forward action series, the stories fairly simple and unremarkable. What made them memorable was the clean, beautiful artwork of Russ Manning.
“Magnus, Robot Fighter” has been resurrected by Valiant Comics, and clearly shows how our sensibilities have changed in 25 years. The basic premise remains the same, but the slant of the stories is different.
Magnus now questions his right to destroy robots that are capable of independent thought, for he worries they may actually be living beings. So far, the series asks us to ponder the very nature of life.
Scripter Jim Shooter, who’s been writing comics since he was 13, has given us a new series that is proving to be superior to the old. It is a solid science-fiction tale that works very well.
It would be extremely difficult to match the level of artistic excellence achieved in the original series, and here the new book falls a little short – but only a little. Art Nichols and Bob Layton come close, and close is good enough. Combined with the quality of the paper and the coloring, it makes for an attractive package.
“Magnus, Robot Fighter” sells for $1.75 and is available in comic book specialty stores.
We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help children create their own artistic robots. This class for grades 4-5 will take place at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students will learn how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board. They will then decorate their animated creatures, give them a story, and create a magical world for them to live in.
This photo set covers our our first prototypes for this class, featuring a Baby Angel, an Alien and a Bamboodu native american spirit, in different stages of construction. Students will design their own characters, and we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, using the same mechanisms to make characters shake their heads and wave their arms while they roam.
Each student will receive a robot kit, which they will learn to assemble, control and program. They will then take their completed robot home with them, after the class ends. For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I have created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features at a lower cost.
We are also teaching a similar class for adults and teens at Tam Makers in Mill Valley, which will use the same robot kit. In just two evenings in late September, we'll show students how to build their own robot with Arduino, make it move, light up and play sounds -- then take it home.

The live finals of the 2016 Zero Robotics High School Tournament took place on the International Space Station on 27 January 2017. More than 100 students aged between 14 and 20 years old from across Europe met at ESA’s Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. From there, students connected to the ISS, as well as to parallel events taking place in the USA and Australia. This is the fifth time that the ISS has been turned into a gaming platform for the ultimate game of robotics.
The B-9, Class M-3 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot was a character in the television series Lost in Space. Known and addressed simply as "Robot", his full designation was only occasionally mentioned on the show.
An unexpected and surprising found. I thought the negatives of this shoot of my Father in 2002 were lost . But then ... Robot Royal 24, Xenagon 30mm on Ilford FP 4
just a robot minifig i threw together when my bricklink order came its like a robot jack the classic minifig.if anyone wants it for theyre group just message me.
More than 50 tweens, teens, children and adults got hands on with robots Saturday, July 16, 2016, at the Marysville Library at Robot Rally. The event offered Ozobots, LEGO Mindstorm Robotics, Lakewood High School's Full-Metal Robotics, and WSU at Everett's Engineering Club, which took second place at the the University Rover Challenge at the Mars Desert Research Station in Hanksville, Utah.
We hired The Lego Guy to come and host a party for Tristan's 8th birthday. We all agreed it was the Best! Birthday! Ever!!

In a world abandoned and scarred by the Great Catastrophe, the few remaining analogue humans and robots traverse a landscape of lost glory and silent stories. This image captures a moment in their journey, a snapshot of resilience and unspoken bonds in the aftermath of the Great Exodus.
Poem
In the hush of a forsaken world,
Where echoes of laughter have long unfurled,
Lies the husk of a planet, once so bright,
Now a canvas of shadows, devoid of light.
Through the ruins, they walk - the steel and the flesh,
In a ballet of survival, their stories mesh.
Ghosts of a past, where hope once dwelled,
In the hearts of the lost, silently swelled.
Amidst the rubble of dreams, they seek,
A new dawn, a whisper, a future to speak.
For in this world of despair and sorrow,
Lies the seed of a new 'morrow.
Haiku
Whispers in ruins,
Hope glints in steel and flesh paths -
New dawn in old world.
Robot Ninja / Brassujin
4.58 Liters Oil
Level 2 Robo-Fu
Brassujin was originally built as a training dummy, programmed for adaptive combat. A Kung-Fu Master came across Brassujin one day and challenged him to battle. Brassujin had already absorbed the knowledge of many elite fighters but never a master. As they fought, Brassujin became self-aware and surpassed his original programming. The fight ended in a draw and as the Master bowed to Brassujin he cackled with a twinkle in his eye. It seemed as though he had a purpose...
Comes complete with RCS V1.0 (Robot Combat System).
It's actually a joke at the expense of those gawd-awful annoying Bloodlines-The Thirst nubs who harass every sim on the grid with their constant "I can haz yur blud?" spam, without a shred of role-play to be seen or had among them.
This avatar was inspired by the Mokujin character from the Tekken fighting game.
