Oh, well as Mike Joyce said, you cant make a few robots without breaking a few parts…… The act of the collar coming off also scratched the neon mouth opening on the replica torso. When I did that, and because I didn’t turn off my receiver before switching robots and my B9 leaned over and dumped my collar and radar section onto the hard concrete, shattering all of it into little pieces. While I was talking to a friend, I was switching my transmitter to operate another robot I had (my R5D4). What happened was on Sunday morning I had my collar and radar unit placed on my replica torso. Never drive your B9 when you are tired, 2) never stack your robot with parts that are not secured and 3) always remember to turn off your receiver before you turnoff your transmitter. There was also 3 very important lessons that I took away from the build off. We even had a little strategy meeting on how we were going to help who and when so everybody could get taken care of. The food was great! Anybody and everybody that wanted or needed help got it. Travis Jeter finally got those holes drilled by the master himself, Mike Joyce and finally got his bubble attached! Bob Greiner and I also fixed his waist motor mount and drive.Īll in all everybody had an excellent time. Wayne’s R2 and my R5 had a little race in the back alley…… Three aluminum R2 Frames were built. Wayne Orr replaced his Omni Balls with Casters. My machinist even helped out a fellow builder because he wanted to make one of his own and this was “good practice”. They had their kids out and about looking and poking at everything. (Not to worry, I had informed my entire block that this was occurring).
When you have multiple palm sanders going it kind of sounds like model airplanes flying around and that definitely drew attention from my neighbors. I saw people tearing into boxes and sanding and making frames for the Astromechs. Since this was a build off I had to go ahead and announce “Build your Robots”. Lots of goodies for everybody and there was parts everywhere! Lovely….machined……anodized…aluminum parts….Did I mention they were machined and anodized….? We had B9 torsos painted and R2 & B9 parts made just for this event. We had a few participants take advantage of the Machinist and Painter I had reserved for this weekend. MAN is that thing BIG!!!!! You need a Batcave to house that thing!

Smith & Will Robinson, not the least to mention a full size, working, Jupiter 2 center flight console with a Burroughs B205 console on top! And if that wasn’t enough we got to see a 1966 Batmobile in construction. And let’s not forget the Laser rifles, a working MP41A Pulse Rifle, Light Sabers, Phasers, Tricorders, Communicators and life size mannequins of Dr. There were B9’s, R2's, R5, Battle Droid, Pit Droid, Mouse Droids, Insectoids, a C-3PO needing plating and a Fred Barton Robby the Robot all in 1 place. I think they thought we were having a garage sale…… Some of them stopped buy as we were setting up on Saturday morning wondering if they could buy any of them. There were members from the B9 Club, the R2 Builders Club and the Dallas Personal Robotics Club as well as visitors young and old. I learned so much and it was so refreshing to see so many different types of robots in 1 place and to see how they were constructed. Well, The Great Texas B9 Build Off of 2008 (May 16-18) seems to have been a success! I loved it.
