Rampax is from a series of six 5" plastic robots made by CGGC in Italy. They were sold in kit form and had to be assembled. I don’t know when they were first produced, but I was given the individually boxed Rampax in 1985.
The six robots were not completely different, but shared components such as arms, legs and feet. These pieces were all interchangeable and it seems that some were randomly packed out, so the makeup of specific robots was inconsistent. Each robot had two distinct, spring launched weapons. The long weapon for the bent right arm protruded from the elbow and hooked in place; pushing up on the hook launched the weapon. The left arm had a mechanism in the shoulder that held the weapon in place while the arm was down, but launched the devise when the arm was raised.
The robots were also distributed in France by a company named Remus, which sold them in two sets of three. The French packaging was quite different from the Italian boxes that I’ve seen, but the plastic parts were still molded in Italy. Again, I have no idea of the original time line for these, but I obtained an incomplete set in 1991.
Five of the robots - Drakis, Torang, Fergus, Argon and Rampax - kept their names for both Italian and French issues. The sixth one, originally Satan in Italy, was renamed Mirox in France. I guess that the French didn’t want kids playing with the devil.
I did custom work on my Rampax robot. I added leg gears, hinge covers and insect pin antennas, and did a complete paint job.
CIA's Office of Advanced Technologies and Programs developed the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) fish to study aquatic robot technology. The UUV fish contains a pressure hull, ballast system, and communications system in the body and a propulsion system in the tail. It is controlled by a wireless line-of-sight radio handset.

Here is a team building/repairing their robot during our recent robot combat competition in BYU's Garden Court.

Experimenting with paper robots, my latest 3D paper dolls. I am using a new technique, making random small individual 3d shapes that I can then put together.
Although the Robot Saints Initiative was terminated on Dec. 26th, 2017, Not all of the Saints were found at their posts by the Collectors. Some were said to have ran, robotic shepherds hunted as if they were sheep...
*sigh*
My very last Tip-In with a twist journal page. I did a little bit of stalking on my partner and found out she likes robots, ha! How fun was this guy AND I got to play around with some more of those develish little tags too. See a trend here? Hehe.
All handpainted with acrylics and prismacolor pencils except for the tags.
Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.

I keep telling them the track has to be replaced on engine two, but what do they do? Do they replace it? Do they listen? Noooooo, they just send ol Bob the Bot down back down into the pit every thursday and yell at him to fix it faster. The future, a factory, a robot.
This took me roughly an hour to build. This is the only robot I've made that I'm actually happy with!
"Robot II Luftwaffe Eigentum Black, an outstanding Army Robot Camera.
During the world war II, Otto Berning produced his famous Robot Luftwaffe Eigentum
( Air force property), this was a special production of flight recognized cameras.
This is a beautiful F serial, 4th version of 1942, with Long-long advance knob
(48 exposures) and two holes on top. The F serial comes from the german
word "Flieger" or "Flyer", with the famous Sonnar 7,5 cm lens,
in aluminium body of 1941, a rare war time lens, the most popular lens was the
Tele-Xenar of 7,5 cm, the Biotar 2,0, and the Xenon 1,9 lens. Only a few units of this
versión was fited with the Carl Zeiss 7,5 cm Sonnar.
The camera was used in several German fighter planes like the Messerschmitt BF 109 and 110
and the Focke Wulf 190. In the last one the camera was mounted in a cradle in the right
wing and was connected with the guns. The camera could also be used handheld by the crew
This is a very little master piece of collection. Some research say that 20.000 units
were made."

I've got more to do with this one...he needs big wings or something. Also a massive weapon of some kind.

Back in 2005, Ken & I both worked as subcontractors to NASA. A work friend discovered this in the basement of the building we worked in - Building 4610 - on Redstone Arsenal/Huntsville, Alabama. (incidentally the building my Dad worked in as a NASA employee), and we went down to look!
Robot alert! We "think" he was on loan from the Alabama Space & Rocket Center, as a fun exhibit. Made me think of WALL-E.
I just came across these old photos from 2005, looking through my archives for something else- 20 years ago!

I thought it would be fun to do a drop on Black Friday. We got so involved in shopping however, that we forgot to do one of the drops...so instead of leaving robot #2 in a shopping area, we left him at a local hospital.
Dropped: Community Methodist Hospital, Henderson, KY & The Olive Garden, Evansville, IN.
Number of toys: 2
Made by: Kellie
Dropped by: Kellie @ And She Can't Even Cook and her sister, Jackie.

This upgrade I did about three weeks ago, but I have't any time to upload this photos. In this version I have updated almost everything except the hands and the bib:)
Mr and Mrs Robert Robot. 'Silly' robots made for a swap on Claire's Blog. These two are winging their way to Katy in Washington, USA.
This photo shows them after they receive their top coat of silver paint.
MIN-00 2.0 ist ein lieber und fantasievoller Roboter, dem ständig irgendwelche Abenteuerspiele einfallen.
Vom Stadt- und Fabrik-Leben hat MIN-00 2.0 die Nase voll und lebt jetzt auf einem kleinen Bio-Bauernhof auf dem Lande.
(Übrigens ist MIN-00 2.0 ein Cousin dritten Grades von HAL 9000 und wurde als Baby in einem Haufen schwarzer Steine in einer einsamen Gegend Sibiriens gefunden und zu uns gebracht).
