    My favorite line from that movie was "What's a bathing suit?"

    Hey Bruce, Unfortunately you've already named him Robby.... It's a shame you didn't give him the more sinister name of Dr. Morbius!

    Robby has all ways been his name I would think, it's the one I've always heard him called.

    Sorry, my bad... It was the "Mechanical moron" in Lost In Space that didn't have a name.

    Great piece of fun and a job well done on the robot and even better considering that you never used a lathe and only the drill press and a disc sander.
