Your videos are appreciated. Even without pandemics many of us will never get to see your hut in real life, so this better than nothing.

[@Robothut]

Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@canadianfloormasters]

As always you made me feel like a kid once again and to top it off you had the robot play one of my favs! Gary Lewis & the Playboys. Your robots are breathtaking and you taste in music is top shelf also! Wayne from Canada

[@Robothut]

I had the Machine Man band play another song all the way threw and KZbin put a copy right strike on it, so I had to let them edit out that 3 minutes of video. Maybe if I had not sung along with it, the youtube computer might not have figured it out?

[@canadianfloormasters]

@@Robothut Unbelievable how the idiots at "KZbin world work" Copy right strike, nothing else better to do but go after good quality entertainment with small sound clips all while they allow violent rap aka crap spit out lyrics I dare not say in my reply to your text in fear of violating the hypocritical standards of you tube. With that said, please stay on KZbin and continue posting when at all possible as I always look forward to watching your video's. Wayne from Canada

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

We loved your morning daily videos and appreciate them very very much . I would like to see the insides of Robby robot series if possible thank you John the 🤖man !

[@Robothut]

I have done a few videos on the Robby, toys and even a inside look. here is one link, you can find more on my Robothut channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHyunICNmc6La9U

[@LAMtv]

Great stuff, thanks for posting- Please do a video on the following: 1. The (1/5 scale?) Robby the Robot figures in the cases where you were talking about the lights. The ones in the smaller case (next to the life sized Robby) and the ones in the larger cases with all the different heads Robby had. Would love to know more about them, articulation? lights? etc. Where did the heads come from? 2. The 1/6-ish scale old movie robots at about 10:40 (the ones standing in front of the Big Max toy). 3. The Ideal Zeroids robots. 4. All the life sized classic film robots (Metropolis, Robbys, Gort, etc, manufacturers, if they are entirely static, etc). 5. Any vintage toy robots/toys of the 60s/70s era (Zeroids, etc).

[@Robothut]

Glad you liked the video. You will find I have done videos on all the things you have asked about. You can find them in my Robothut youtube channel. Or sometimes it is easier to find them by typing in the youtube search box "robothut Robby the robot" for example. Replace the Robby the robot with Silent running drones or Tobor the great, or time machine and so on. The videos should pop up that way also.

[@jayducharme]

To the far right of the Radio-Controlled Space Warrior, I spotted my favorite robot when I was a kid. It began as a tin box, which then lifted up. A head with lighted eyes popped out of the top, legs appeared at the bottom, arms came out of the sides and a "TV screen" appeared on the front with a lenticular image of a guy steering the robot. I used to watch that for hours.

[@Robothut]

I did a video on that early transforming robot.

[@jayducharme]

@@Robothut I'll go look for it. EDIT: I just watched it -- again. I'd already commented on it and forgot I had. LOL!

[@Robothut]

@@jayducharme Here is a video I did 7 years ago of the red version of the space explorer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4GpZYaPqt9ofNE Some place there is a video of my brown version. It might have been mixed in with the TV robot videos.

[@Robothut]

@@jayducharme The link to the brown version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2mVaJeejNyMbK8

[@OzziesRobots]

Alice Cooper on the Machine Band ! lol Great Walk through John . These are the Best !! Appreciate seeing the whole collection :)

[@Robothut]

You tube gave me a copy right strike for a Beach boys song , I had to let them monetize the video for some one else or take down the video or let youtube edit out the song. I have not watched the video this morning, so not sure how the youtube edit went, should be about 3 minuets of video missing and what ever I was saying at that point.

[@mikeledger2614]

This collection is one of the greatest things ever!

[@Robothut]

Thank you for commenting, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@crazyrobotlady3391]

Oh why did I listen to this while trying to go to sleep? That band got me all jazzed up that was awesome!

[@WarningPanel3]

Thank you for the robot function demonstrations, great to find out what they can do. I’m especially looking forward to a resin 3D printed robot project.

[@Robothut]

I did a resin 3d printed version of the 1950's easel back robot. Because resin printers do let you control the infill a mount, even a hollow part will have a solid wall, a filament printer will make the wall any percentage of infill you want. So, the parts are lighter in filament and a lot heavier in resin. Now if it is a static robot then the weight does not matter, but for a mechanical robot it does.

[@Zorua635]

Would love to see your Robosapien v2s in action!

[@2150dalek]

Maybe tell the story behind the large red serving Robot I saw when you 1st walked inside the Hut. Those large yellow Robots against the wall behind Robbie in the speeder car...Man , Zobar is so awesome as you demonstrated. Very cool Robot...Alice Cooper, 'Got you under my wheels' is my fav.

[@Robothut]

I am afraid to play any rock tunes on the Machine Man Band as youtube puts copy right strikes against me. They made me edit out 3 minuets of this video. So I may have to stick with Marches and Xmass music.

[@ernestojavierjuarezdavis173]

Hi John, really you are a happy man. The robots made you love your mission in this life. Congrats!!

[@woodturner1954]

Wow, just Wow! So Cool you have the initiative and capability to save all this history.

[@Robothut]

Thank you, it has been a lot of work and a lot of fun.

[@lenkajohns4141]

LOVE this. Shows us your Johnny 5 and Maschinenmensch, please! :D

[@Robothut]

I did a video on the Johnny 5 build. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJOrnaSHqd6KipY Also, in the description box with that video is a link to my web site with more Infor on the Jonny 5 build.

[@JoseMartinez-og2hy]

How about firing up the pinball machines? They look so cool.

[@Robothut]

I have done many videos on the pinball machines that you can find on the Robothut channel.

[@laserbender2773]

Great video. I love your collection. I was wondering if you have on display one of those wandering "meet and greet" robots you see sometimes in the grocery store.

[@Robothut]

I do have all the large home robots and videos on them, but not one of the entertainment robots like you used to see at shopping malls.

[@marktadlock5428]

Keeping every clean and dusted must be a nightmare

[@Robothut]

It would be a nightmare, that's why I have never dusted in the 22 years since I built the Musuem. The double door airlock helps keep dust and insets out.

[@marktadlock5428]

@@Robothut Is it open for viewing. I tried to visit many years ago but you had gotten hurt, if i remember fell of a ladder.

[@Robothut]

@@marktadlock5428 I remember that fall, I most 6 months of my life to that fall. Sorry to say I am not open to visitors at this time

[@yohanfuretro-love.8306]

Love the Robot Hut!

[@fernbatfink4851]

Please don't stop doing these videos I really enjoyed them a lot I am also a robot collector But not as big as your s I might have 200 250 some from japan

[@Robothut]

Sounds like a very nice collection you have got started. Don't stop. Save the robot for future people to enjoy.

[@pedroponce7424]

I'm also interested in seeing horikawa robots

[@potrzebieneuman4702]

Oh WOW you must have about every Robby the Robot ever made !

[@Robothut]

I do not have the 1956 C ell battery version or the 1956 silver, but other than that I think I have them.

[@jobos98]

great Video

[@alwaysasleep]

I've been appreciating your daily uploads, they pop up right before bed time for me and it has become a nice tradition to watch before I go to sleep. Don't blame you for wanting a bit of a break from it though. Can't imagine how much work it is. Lovely walk through here as well.

[@Robothut]

So glad you enjoy the videos. This one had a youtube edit in it as they put a copy right strike on one of the songs the Machine Man band played. So, there is missing audio of me talking about something for about 3 minuets.

[@rainmanmanilajoe3716]

Fantastic collection! Do you have a Maria robot from the movie Metropolis 1927? I guess only new issues are available as there seem to be no vintage figures or toys that came out

[@Robothut]

Yes, I have a full-scale Maria that you can see in most of my other walk threw videos of the Robothut, you can find them on my Robothut channel. I try to do a video walk threw 1 or twice a year, as well as professional videos like when the News channels come out to visit.

[@RCoryCollins]

You are a national treasure. Take care of yourself.

[@Pygar2]

Do you have any representation of Dr. Satan's "water heater" robot? I'd love to see your Disguised Robbies, like the Project UFO one I'd like to turn the Walmart Robby into- his head innards are never well shown... And I'd love to see more of the "Ahh! A toy robot" from Fistful of Yen!

[@Robothut]

I have the full scale Doctor Satin robot that you can see in many of the walk around videos of the hut, as well as smaller resin versions. In my video of Robby toys "on my channel" you can see the project UFO version of robby. I did a video on the Fist full of Yen robot as well, that you can find on my Robothut channel.

[@johnnysmile01]

Hello John that place is the best place to BE in i wish i had something like that near me is it possible to show that orange / yellowish robot at the Middle shelf at 4:27 ? Please and down the shelf at 4:39 looks like Tommy stop & go action robots (maybe the second or third One ) counting from. The left side please ) thanks 👍🤖

[@Robothut]

I will look into it. I think I did cover the yellow robot at 4:27 in the past, maybe in one of the talking robot videos.

[@thoughtstorms_keith]

I'd love to get a chance to visit, and i know i would make a B-Line straight for the Silent Running botz. Do you still have blueprints or plans for making them? I want to make one out of that foam that cosplay makers use, but i don't have the skill, time, or remaining eyesight to go from scratch! I've enjoyed many, many of your videos, haven't seen them all. The Silent Running bots are my clear favorites. And even the internet has very little about them.

[@Robothut]

I did a video on the silent running drones and in the description box under the video is a link to my web site with more information on the build. Using foam board is a great idea. Here is a link to the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX63daNufL90l8U

[@thoughtstorms_keith]

@@Robothut I have enjoyed that video, but never really looked for those links! I'm not sure which robot I'm going to make, or at what scale, but I'm dang sure going to make one!

[@jayducharme]

I've been really disappointed in LED light tech. Manufacturers either have poor quality control or they cheap out on components. I haven't yet gotten an LED light that's worked well over the long haul. Several have simply died long before their predicted lifespan. But if they're well-made, they should last a really long time. On the subject of robots, how does Zobor pick up the cards? Is it magnetic? Did you build it? Thanks for running the band organ again. That's always enjoyable.

[@Robothut]

Zobor uses a magnet and special cards with tin sheets inside. Yes, I designed and built it. I got a copy right strike from youtube for one of the songs.

[@jayducharme]

@@Robothut Copyright strikes ... the bane of creativity.

[@Mike-hg1fn]

Is this hut open to the public? I could spend hours in there, such great stuff and well organised.

[@Robothut]

Before covid it was open to Robot collectors, the news people and others doing research into robot toys. But now it is not, I just got covid last month, put me in the hospital and I am still recovering.

[@Mike-hg1fn]

@@Robothut sorry to hear this, all the best for a speedy rcovery

[@PerpetualDarkMatter]

Did you make sure you have an Led driver and not the transformer “no pun intended” for the lighting? I know that incandescent lights usually have different stuff. I purchased an old displays2go case a few years back and tried to convert to LEDs but I had to get a proper LED driver for them.

[@Robothut]

The LED's I used were rated for automotive so 14.5 volts on the high side. They have diode bridges in them as well so the 12 volt AC transformers were right in spec. But I know they design all the new LED lights to fail, they run them over current to get more lumens and so they do not last forever, they need to sell more of them. So, I may just have to make some adjustments to the power supplies to run them under voltage / current so the new lamps last longer. On a side note I just got the new LED lights today from amazon, they are crap so got to send them back.

[@PerpetualDarkMatter]

@@Robothut that’s lame man. You collection is very large but have you considered using LED strips? If I have a section fail I can usually redo a small section and solder a bit. It may be too expensive because of how many you may need

[@raulduke6105]

Nirvana!!

[@fernbatfink4851]

Marker 1994 or I see a lost space robit's a space Roma but half of his head looks like a silver golf ball I've been looking for this where did you get yours,or where you think i can get one.i Have the other lost space robot that's right next to it to the left

[@Robothut]

It is very rare and hard to find that version with the silver golf ball head. I got mine from a collector in New York many years ago. toy auctions, toy shows and ebay will be where to look for one, but they do not turn up very often. I did a video on the Lost in space robot toys that you can find on my Robothut channel.

[@fernbatfink4851]

14.18 Next of sharper image does a green robot with a funny nose what is that

[@Robothut]

I do not see the robot at 14:18 but the only robot with a green nose that comes to mind is Big Loo the Moon robot by Marx.

[@longstrike7795]

Hey sir I noticed you have Some robosapien V2s I have a friend on KZbin who restores them They are extremely fragile and the wires inside Are extremely brittle If you would ever like to have a robo sapien V2 repaired Or would like to understand the mechanisms inside of the V2 I recommend checking out This channel called Zorua365 It's a shame those robots are really advanced But they were cheaply made

[@Robothut]

Mine should all work as I bought them new when they came out and just placed them in the museum. I have had a few Junkers of the robosapiens years ago that I took apart to see how they were made and work. I kept the gear motors from them for other projects and threw the rest away.
