New B9 Anamations. Dedicated to a lost friend. 

Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed this.

Thanks you so much.

Wow Nick, Thanks for these very kind words. He's a labor of love and still is.

Hi Stuart. Thanks for the codos! The arms took about 2 years of R&D and building. I has about 5 failed attempts. I'd currently doing some prototyping on a different rail drive system to move the arms out of the torso. The cable system I now have is too clunky and big. Stay tuned!

@@DavidSchulpius Thanks for replying, David! Or did you have the robot do it? I’ve seen lots of B-9’s, being one of the millions who’ve loved him as long as we remember, but I don’t know if I’ve seen another with motorized arms, or one that emits that simple, perfect sound effect. Are there others? I’m almost certain that I haven’t seen one with both. The sound effect has impressed me all of my life as a detail that someone on the show had a right to feel proud of. It convincing suggests complex mechanics, it’s loud enough to be heard but quiet enough to be unobtrusive, and it’s unique. I’ve always considered it to be as indispensably a part of the robot as the bubble, and found it odd that it’s never mentioned by fans (or so rarely that I’ve never found it mentioned), and hearing yours make the iconic sound gives it an impression of being the real deal! I’m in a rush, but do you recall seeing or hearing about the robot’s commercial for a lawnmower that aired during the series’s original run? More soon. Thanks!

Thanks man!

Thanks for the kind words.

My condolences too.

Thanks EvieRose. Rita was a wonderful person and I miss her smile and laugh. Were you at her memorial yesterday? She had many friends and family show up.

Thanks Derwin. No log. sorry. Go ahead and build your dreams! Visit the B9 Robot Builders club website and get started! www.b9robotbuildersclub.com/index.html

Thanks for the interest. I've got a lot of this work documented on a thread on the EZ Robot Forum here: www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/posts.aspx?threadId=2263 Also I've got a lot of build pictures on SmugMug here: dreampins.smugmug.com/Other/BOP/n-9Fsng/ Enjoy!

Thanks kindly Johnny. You can have one just like this. Build one. It's a challenge but well worth the effort. For me it is an accomplishment of a lifetime.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it would be nice to have the function of Alexa and still have the robot's voice answer. There are some builders trying to use AI to do something like this. They're getting close.

The main elbow motor is a DC windshield wiper type motor that is driven by a worm gear. It's going as fast as it can.

So you think bubbleheaded booby is better? Or cowardly clump?

@@johntapp1650 I always liked Neanderthal Ninny.

Hi Stephen, He does not roll around the house. He just stands there and looks really cool.

Indeed. Next you'll be telling me that he's thin-skinned.

Same here.

Thanks for your insight and comments. I respect your opinion. However things like color and brightness are subjective to the person viewing. Personally I took great care to match the color scheme of this robot to the TV robot of the 2nd and 3rd season as close as possible. Perhaps your remembering the 1st season robot where the show ws shoot in black and white? There are other builders that have tried to copy that grayscale memory. Not for me personally. As far as the neon, the camera makes it look brighter then it is in real life. However I love the "in your face" true color and flash that a real neon will give. I may have it turned up a little to bright but it's not an issue with me or anyone that seen him in person. Again, thanks for your comments and watching my video. ;-)
