BOB MAY TRIBUTE - ROBOT LESSONS from BOB Lost in Space B9 Dr. Smith 

"Danger, Will Robinson"! LOVE IT! My favorite episode of LIS was when the Robinson's robot battled an evil 'bot (I think it was "Robby" from Forbidden Planet).

I talked with Bob May a few years ago at a con. He was a great guy to talk to. With videos like this, he will never be forgotten.

The Robot was the best charactor on Lost In Space!

I grew up watching Lost and Space. Iam Now 53 and when I found out the Robot was not real, I Cryed ! Thank you Mr. May You Are Saddly Missed .

This tribute to my Daddy warmed my heart, made me laugh, made me cry. You were a good friend and I want to thank you for such a wonderful tribute to him.

Everyone loved the robot so much because of Bob Mays personality comming through, just an incredible person.

There is no way I’d ever get inside that thing. Kudos to Bob May for pulling it off for so long.

I LOVED that show, and saw every episode every released. Those were the days of the cliff-hanger for sure. I loved that at the end of every episode we were left hanging in suspense until the following week. Dr. Smith was a guy whom one loved to hate, while the Robot was my favorite character.

I miss Mr. May. We last met in Las Vegas 2006 inside the Hilton during Star Trek's 40th. Very fun tribute Nick......thank you so much for sharing this video with us.

Bob May was my semi pro football coach. His son Marty was on the team as well. We used to hang at the house and play pool. Bob took use to volunteer at the special Olympics and it was fun.

That was amazing! This was my favorite show when I was a kid. Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

Very nice video! This video brought back fond memories of my childhood. I'm a 37 year old brazilian guy who grew up watching reruns of Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea etc. When I was nine or ten I would wacth Lost in Space every morning, before lunch and then go to school. I too only now got to know how the robot was manipulated. Bob May achieved the impossible: gave this suit a real personality. Artists like Jonathan Harris and Bob May became a sweet part of my life.

Thank you for posting this Nick! What a great tribute to a wonderful man. The man who made our hero, The Robot, come to life. He will be missed by all of his many fans.

This is my favorite of all the Lost in Space robot videos. The replica robots are cool but this video shows the agony that went into making the actual special effects on the show. I think back in my old age how did I do some of the things that I did when I was young? That is why I got such a kick out of Bob May. 😂🤣😂

Oh my God!!! I really love that robot. I grew up watching all the Jupiter 2 adventures!!. Beautiful memories..... Thanks!!

Seeing this nearly 10 years after it posted is also a pleasant surprise. This is the first I have seen of this Robot since the 60's as a young kid. I never knew until now, that there was someone inside of it! Hahahaha. I thought it was some kind of remote controlled machine. Good old Dr.Smith. He was always screwing sh*t up for the rest of them!

This can only leave great memories for me and I'm 57 years old......t.v. will never be the same....."Thank you MR. BOB MAY.....it will always compute.

You father helped bring so much happiness to millions of people, one of them being me. Thank you for having such a great dad!

The only Robot with a heart, and we can all thank Dr. Smith :) and Bob May

Looks like everyone had a good time. I was very sorry to hear of Bob May's passing. Another bit of my childhood gone.

WOW, this was so awesome! I watched this show every day when I got home from school. Best memories ever!

I loved this robot as a kid.

Lovely tribute to bob may

It brings back great memories!!! Guys, I miss you all!!!!

THANKS FOR ALL THE KIND COMMENTS! Sorry it took so long to approve them...i havnt gotten notices from youtube to let me know any were waiting. This is my new robot project- I recorded a CD of the robot singing songs from his tv show elvisechoe.wix.com/themaskpit#!robot-phrases/c63v

Cool T-shirt. And I met Bob May too. Very cool..indeed!

Bob was great inside the bot as well as outside of the bot.

i admire anyone who is a suit actor like mr may was , and that includes all suit actors.

Bob was my semi pro football coach. His son Marty Jr was on it too. Last I saw him they were living in Granada Hills We would go do special Olympics with him and I had a blast hanging out with the celebs.

Wow that was a wonderful tribute I too didn't know who was in the robot either Rest in peace

A most entertaining and and humorous tribute! Nice job playing the robot!

I love this!! You guys are great!! Robot as Elvis~! Gold. Pure gold.

danger,danger,danger dr. smith

That was great... I loved the show

Great video ! Loved the robot and TV show.

Great vid & impressive robot skills. Makes you appreciate how hard it was for Bob May. Cheers.

"You must have needed a job very badly".......ROFL

Bob May: "Is my ashtray in there?" He really did smoke and read the paper in there between takes.

But Dick Tufeld did the robot's voice. Bob May's acting consisted mainly of waving the robots arms and going forward without hitting anything.

SUPER !!!! NO WORDS !!!

What a way to honor the work of a wonderful man - thanks for sharing this video !

I remember having "The Robot" as a toy when I was a kid.

Nick that was wonderful. If you have anyother videos please post them.

MARAVILHA!!! THE BEST!

A very cool video! Watching this made me go back to the early 1970's. Thanks for posting it for us to see. Respect from Apache Junction, Arizona.

That guy is a really funny comedian. Bob May was great as well.

You were awesome Nick. Just awesom and I have a B9

"May, you can't frighten me! I will do whatever I please when it pleases me!"

I believe that the original robot is in Paul Allen's collection at the Sci Fi museum in Seattle. They also have several other famous robots, including Gort.

No computerize show will ever match the oldies !

What a fun video.

I loved lost in space , favourite show as a child, I would run home from school to watch it, I was in love with Will Robinson (Billy mummy). Robot made the show

Great job, excellent video. Good stuff!

THIS IS AWESOME !!

That dummy of Dr. Smith is very funny!

Well, at least Bob May was a great gentleman.

You killed with the robot!

Nice job! This guy got to get into the robot suit! I am jealous and happy for him at the same time!

great stuff. thanks..............

Oooooh, the pain, the pain.

I grew up with this show!My mom always bitches me out that i was born right in the middle of the "great vegatable rebellion"!She had to wait to see it till the repeats!

I loved the video!

As a kid i honestly thought the robot was real - how i loved this show growing up

Minha série preferida quando criança tenho em Vhs até hoje. Kkkk

Fantastic! I want a robot STAT!

Omg!! Awesome!!!

This was great. Thanks so much.

How Freaking Cool Was That?!! This Is Great...I WOULD'VE Loved To Been There To To Try It Out A See Bob May. Thank You For This; When L.I.S First Hit The Airwaves, I Was 2yrs. old. As With Star Trek...I Loved Lost In Space.!!!

This is the most epic thing on the web. YOU, my paesan are GOLDEN, my deeer boy!

This just made my night! Fantastic! B9 never looked so good. Awesome job sir.

Wonderful.

I don't want to know your problems..... lmao yay for bob may

Love it! ;-)

Very clever, thanks for sahring.....

very cool

B9 was and is one of the best robots ever. I wanted one of the limited editions that came out, but could not afford that price tag. For me the best parts of LiS was/is the machinery and robots the the episodes.

I like this video!!!, how lucky you are!!. I love the Lost in Space TV series. I have every episode on DVD! I met most of the cast and saw a B9 robot. You are a lucky guy!!

That's good stuff!

This came from Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet,,one of the classic movies of all time

so nice I don't feel like a bad robot

Television has crashed so much. We now value the crap from 1960's TV so much, no one can imagine how anyone would care a wit about current TV 50 years from now.

2:28 Two robots!!! A silver one and another blue one!!! Looks like they were made in the same mold!

PERDIDO NO ESPAÇO. MARCOU VARIAS GERAÇÕES!

Thatzzzz cool!

Nick, you look different from the beginning of this video vs. getting into the robot. Watching the old reruns I can see why I loved this show as a child. I didn't like Dr. Smith's character at all. It bothers me that there always has to be a villain in all TV shows and movies. "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is one of my favorites too. I loved that Michal Rennie played the "Keeper". It was a perfect role for him!!! By the way, do they ever show who did the voice of the robot? I'm sure that questions is probably answered somewhere on youtube or on the internet!!!! Thanks for your post!!!
