Here I will chronicle the design and creation of the automaton to be known as Atomic Robot Bob or RoBob for short. RoBob is intended mainly as a tribute to two of the most famous robots in film and television, B-9 from "Lost in Space" and Robby, the Robot from "Forbidden Planet".

RoBob will be named RoBob because of three people who influenced me as a child (though from afar): Gorilla man and props savior, Bob Burns (who I am proud to now call a friend), B-9 and Robby designer Bob Kinoshita and Bob May, the man who gave B-9 his soul. It was Bob May's recent passing that helped push me over the fence when debating doing this project (or a different one) just one day before his untimely death. Here's to you, gentlemen!
