A robot designed for working in the atmospheres of gas giants. Utilizes vacuum buoyancy technology to stay "afloat".
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.

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.

Here come all the fruits! Left group is Orange, Pineapple and Peach, right Grape, Strawberry and Little Fruit (this is how it is written, I have no clue what this “Little Fruit” is though) One in the middle is the Talking Carrier which is the main body of the super robot. It talks only one phrase in Chinese, something like “Fruit Warriors Combine!” and has background sound effect.
people from the olden days might remember my japanese beer-pouring robot friend. well here he is again in fabulous flickr motion video. (n.b. I am a bumbling idiot)
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.
