Robot is the busiest member of the Spaceship's crew: he can always find something in need of welding, wiring, soldering, or repairing. Even while he is on break, Robot walks the halls of the Spaceship, toolbox in hand and charge pack at the ready, to find even the smallest thing that needs fixing.
Non so se per un modello CB108 si possa parlare di amore, ma credo che lui mi ami. Non è forse la massima prova di amore sacrificare la propria vita per un altro? Inoltre, quello che gli ho chiesto, va contro le leggi della robotica, ma lui ha promesso che lo farà per me. Ho dovuto chiederglielo, non potevo più aspettare, anche se non avrei mai voluto metterlo in questa situazione. Ricordo come fosse ieri il giorno dell’acquisto, ormai quasi ventisette anni fa.
Non era nuovo, ma ricordo che appena il concessionario lo attivò, mi fece subito simpatia. Era uno dei primi modelli della serie, con scocca non ancora ibrida, ma ancora umanoide.
Una volta, si pensava che un aspetto umano si sarebbe inserito meglio all’interno di una famiglia, ma non fu così, gli incidenti causati da tensioni emotive si susseguivano, fino a far decidere di cambiare completamente l’estetica delle serie successive. La CB310 ad esempio, è tutta bianca e di umano ha solo il profilo. La gente è più serena, anzi, secondo me si sente più libera e autorizzata nel maltrattare i robot senza una faccia che li guardi. Ma io non avevo i crediti per un modello nuovo, quindi il problema non mi si poneva. Rob, come lo ho chiamato, aveva un aspetto abbastanza originale per il modello, due baffi a manubrio, capelli a spazzola ed un programma vocale che si era bloccato sull’accento russo. L’unico difetto, mi aveva specificato il rivenditore. Le prime volte risi nel sentirlo parlare con quella cadenza, ma ora non potrei farne a meno, anzi, credo che userei le stesse impostazioni su un modello nuovo, che comunque non avrò.
Si farà disattivare per me.
Le tre leggi della robotica recitano:
1- Un robot non può recare danno ad un essere umano ne può permettere che,
a causa del suo mancato intervento, un essere umano riceva danno.
2- Un robot deve obbedire agli ordini impartiti dagli esseri umani,
purché tali ordini non vadano in contrasto alla Prima Legge.
3- Un robot deve proteggere la propria esistenza,
purché la salvaguardia di essa non contrasti con la Prima o la Seconda Legge.
Ma lui mi ucciderà. Glielo ho chiesto io. E per questo sarà disattivato. Sento le sue mani serrarsi attorno alla mia gola e so che non si fermerà. Volevo morire con qualcosa che fosse il più vicino possibile ad un contatto ed il rivestimento sintetico delle sue mani è fino ad ora la cosa più vicina alla pelle umana. Sento nelle orecchie la sua voce : “Buon viaggio padroone”.
Non smetterei mai di ascoltare quelle sue vocali raddoppiate…
Quanto mi piace…!

The Robot 55 is a second generation wire guided anti-tank missile used by the military of the Nordic Union. With its estimated 800mm of penetration, the Robot 55 is able to punch through the armor of even a 3rd generation MBT. Robot 55 missile launchers are equipped with night vision equipment giving them the capability to deal with enemy armored units at all times of day.
Some of my toy robot collection. Included are repros of Thunder Robot, a couple of Smoking Robots, an RC Dalek (yes, I know it technically isn't a robot) some Astro Boys and a boy on a bicycle, among others.
The GGE series ("George") robot is a versatile exploration robot of the Federation. With a curious, ingenuous programmed personality substrate, the George series sometimes border on naivety, though the Federation's hardwired Asimov Protocols prevent the excess of curiosity common to this series from resulting in actual harm.

Classic Space robots are fun. A completely different challenge to the large microscales and just-squeaks-in-as-a-SHIP builds I also enjoy, the difficulty is to get something expressive yet small enough to be reasonably minifigure scaled.
The name of this robot came from the wide-eyed stare of those big trans clear eyes. "George" just seemed to fit with that.

As engineer Manuel Aiple moves his gauntleted hand, the robotic hand a few metres away in ESA’s telerobotics laboratory follows in sync.
In future, the hope is that human controllers can manipulate orbiting robots or planetary rovers in a similar fashion, across hundreds or thousands of kilometres of space.
Based at ESA’s ESTEC technical centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, the lab aims for robot operators to feel as though they are right there – up in orbit or down on a planet.
Stereo cameras offer 3D vision and the operator feels force-feedback, as found in high-end video game joysticks, to gain a working sense of touch as the robot manipulates objects.
This summer, ESA’s latest ATV space freighter will deliver the Lab’s Haptics-1 experiment to the International Space Station, testing how feedback operates in microgravity, as a prelude to demonstrating orbit-to-ground telerobotic control.

Name: Robotic Fire
Secret Identity: Bob Roberts, Robotic Engineer works with advanced technology at Watt Industries
Age: 30 years old
Skills/Powers:
* Wears an invincible suit of mechanized armor which gives him increased strength
* He is able to shoot fire from his robotic hands
* Wears a jetpack that gives him the ability to fly
Background/Origin Story:
Bob Roberts first became obsessed with robots at age eight when he saw that robots had the ability to help other people. Bob pursued his interest in robotics when he enrolled in college and through hard work he earned his degree in robotic engineering.
After graduation, Bob moved to the city of New Brickton where he became employed by Watt Industries as a robotic engineer. Growing up, Bob was inspired by a hero named Fire Man, a superhero who was tragically lost in a toxic fire accident. Armed with technical knowledge and the ability to build robotic armor, Bob hoped to continue the legacy of his childhood hero.
Soon after crafting a suit of indestructible armor, Bob took on the identity of Robotic Fire. It wasn’t long before Robotic Fire had to test his new suit of armor against an unlikely foe, the former Fire Man. It seems that the toxic fire accident had not claimed the life of Fire Man, but had instead twisted him into a treacherous villain now named Doctor Inferno who wanted to destroy the city and Robotic Fire.
Robotic Fire now fights against Doctor Inferno in hopes of stopping his crazy schemes.
*** At Robbie's request, I watched him this weekend while his mom worked so we could tell the origin story of Robotic Fire. I helped him write the origin story in places and obviously did a bulk of the photography, but he's the one making up the story ideas for this character.
This time no motorcycle model from Max. But still a technical construction that moves on wheels! ;-)
Lately, I haven't had much time for building because all of my spare time has been put toward completing the game Kid Icarus: Uprising(which is awesome, by the way!).
This little guy has been sitting on my shelf for a while now. I haven't even been able to think of a cool name or career for him. I was thinking that he could be an ammunition handler of some kind. I don't know why you would need four arms for that job, but I guess four arms are better than two.
STROBIST
One YN-568C on stroboscopic mode (4 flashes per sec, 20 flashes, 1/16 power) in a Honl Traveller 8 softbox -- a little styrofoam reflector is placed on the other side. The flash is triggered via RF-602 modules.

EXIF
5d3, 24-70 f/2.8 on f/10 and on 38 mm; 5 sec, ISO 100; tripod and a dark room ...
NOTES
There is a chopstick fixated to the robot arm with gaffer tape, so I could move the robot sort of remotely :-))

What do you do about servicing remote outposts in space that are too far for humans to travel? You send robots, of course! Equipped with tv screens, fruit machines and fly swatters, these formidable machines will not only conquer anything that dare stand in their way, but they are also well sorted for entertainment.
1 A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2 A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3 A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

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.
