      Believe it or not this world is full of idiots that's why it's in such a sad state... but this video is great and the robot is brilliant, wish I had Jim's skills

      Most of the time it's accidental. The viewer doesn't even notices he/she touched the thumb down icon. The thumb down and the thumb up icons should be placed farther from each other.

      Probably because the builder seems pretty arrogant.

    The robot will never be outdated he will always be new in our lives and we will always want to have him to live with us forever. ♥️

    I commend Mr. Collins on his dedication in seeing his dreams through to such a successful and impressive result. This robot is so massively iconic, I was honestly horrified to learn about how and why the original one was so carelessly destroyed. Such a shame! But his recreation efforts have yielded an amazing thing to behold.

    I loved and grew up with the show and wanted the robot too….. I just didn’t have what it takes to build one… An incredible job you did!

    This is a fantastic Robot. It is a shame nobody thought to actually have him actually demonstrate The Robot's sound and/or movement! It's a lost opportunity.

    That is a magnificent reproduction of the B9 robot!! You built it with so much passion, dedication, and love!! Thank you for sharing your video!! "Alexa" can't touch the B9!! LoL!!!

    There's saying that I love. "Sometimes it's not about the destination but about the journey." If you had fun building it then it was worth it.

    Wow just incredible. So happy you did this. The robot will now live on forever. Who knows,the robot might end up in some sci-fi museum one day. I do remember Robbie the robot as well . In fact I think there was a series where both Robbie the robot and the lost in space robot had an encounter . Love the show. It was fantastic.

    @quadsman11 Před 5 lety +2

    Without your dedication and determination, this piece of our 60's history would be lost forever sir !
    Your persistence and attention to precise detail has likely produced a version of the B9 robot that is significantly better than the original !
    Thanks to you, and of course the countless others out there on the internet, emailing each other, and internet resources this would have never been possible !
    Thank you Sir !
    My hat's off to you !
    I know and understand the countless hours that you have put into making this level of quality B9 !

  • @roberthurd328
    @roberthurd328 Před 2 lety

    You know what I enjoy this when you talk about the Roebuck because of robot what was influencing me when I was a child I was in awe I thought it was another living creature ever since then I tried to get into robotics big failure on that. But it gave me skills and insights I'm things that I can do. If you're reading this I'd appreciate this perception. You should make a $20 gold coin size emblem of that robot and make it out of a ribbon coin for the achievement of acceleration in the robotic field or and in film industry with a robot but let's try to make the robot from Lost in Space immortal since his life was very short

    Robot was both Father protecting Will Robinson and faithful dog... 🐕 Smith infuriated me - coming between them - and there were episodes where I remember crying over the relationship between boy and dog... not having a father around (or interested... kinda like Guy Williams) probably heightened the emotion. (Guy Williams must have also been traumatized, going from “Zorro” to 2nd banana... died of a drug overdose in Latin America)

      That’s actually valid, but it may simply have been a matter of hiring the first person small enough to fit. Bob May’s story is that Irwin Allen told him he was hired if he could fit into the suit.
