I freaking had this guy❤❤❤❤❤ I kept him in my desk cat school. Man I totally forgot about this 🥰😍

[@Oeli_Maurer]

You can‘t have too many spot bot videos, it‘s such an awesome robot!

[@RandiRain]

So true!

[@stevendunn264]

It's insides looks like a clock or Automaton.

[@thinkbolt]

I can't get over the fact that you're dismantling the electric motor! Nobody does that! 😮

[@Everfalling]

I love TOMY toys. All of them are so cool inside

[@VintageGamingMemories]

Hi Randi. I'm sure you might have mentioned this in one of your previous videos but can you refresh my memory on your thoughts of whether or not to lubricate the plastic gears? I'm guessing no need to since it's not a heavy load with the friction but if you do, what type do you prefer (silicon, PTFE, graphite, etc). Great video. Thanks!

[@RandiRain]

Normally I leave it dry, especially a Tomy toy that's made good. Sometimes I use lithium grease on my own stuff though.

[@Traxxbandit]

Another great job. Randi

[@jjohnson71958]

my shes nice and chesty... cool toy

[@tarstarkusz]

Very nice job Randi. It's pretty amazing how 1 prime mover can do all these varied actions using nothing but plastic gears.

[@RandiRain]

It is... It's more amazing they figured it out without computers.

[@PLTOTA]

I adore this - and perfectly timed. I just found my childhood Spotbot... turning on, but making all kinds of ungodly noises. And now my electronics/mechanics/electronics/engineering/dog-obsessed six--year-old is super keen to join me in opening it up and fixing it. Now we have something of a guide from somebody that knows what they're doing! THANK YOU from both of us!

[@RandiRain]

Glad I could help.

[@PLTOTA]

@@RandiRain Me and my daughter are glad you could help too! We'll let you know how it goes!

[@crushedcan5378]

it so cute!!! so do you own a star robot?

[@RandiRain]

I do, but it's in bad bad shape and just haven't got around to fixing it.

[@georgemartinezjr]

What did you use wash it with ??

[@georgemartinezjr]

Did younuse Tooth paste with Baking Soda

[@RandiRain]

soap and water.

[@adamkalb1412]

Randi, great job with the restoration: the eBay listing shows the item is removed.

[@RandiRain]

Thanks for pointing this out. I had the schedule date wrong. It should be up soon.

[@adamkalb1412]

[@Super_Bros.]

[@RandiRain]

Just like Christmas morning all those years ago.

[@mancavehobbies6213]

[@RandiRain]
