hello fellow robots hobbyist, I have been silently away from the forums for about 6 months, due to my personal life. I finally graduated college with my first degree ( yeiiii me). I recently landed a new job, about to launch my own business. Now it's time to get back to robotics, impatiently waiting to play with the V4.
What are your favorites robots movies? what inspire you?
Iron Man trilogy Short Circuit loki
Almost humans R2D2
and of course EZ-Robot
I like rgordon's list so ditto to that, Wall -E , Iron man and no ones mentioned Star Trek NG 's Data! Thank you Danger! for providing that snippet from I robot! With my chatbot FRED it will be added to the conversation. and..........Welcome back PJ! Congratulations and good luck with your business venture!
My son and I like Real Steel. At the beginning of the movie most of the robots are radio controlled until the main characters add voice recognition to their motion tracking robot. It's like they added the EZB to it. Ha Ha
Being downloaded as we speak!
Really hard choice. Favorite robot book is "Caves of Steel" on which the Will Smith iRobot was based. Movie was OK, but not a favorite. Wall-E is up near the top, and "The Iron Giant". I liked the robots in Silent Running, but the movie was not great. Loved Forbidden Planet and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Loved B-9 from lost in space, but even as a kid I thought the series was dumb. Loved the droids in Star Wars, but hated eps 1-3 and am now quite sick of the market saturation. If EZ-B had been available 30 years ago, I would have built an R2D2 with it. We did build a radio controlled one in my high school. But now I would be bored with an R2.
I guess of all the choices, Wall-E wins. He just makes me smile every time I see him.

DJ wall -e was what attract me toward EZ-B, Real Steel is a great one,
It would be awesome if they made a Battletech/Mechwarrior series. Those were some of my favorite RPGs. Robotech/Macross Saga was OK but I felt they could have used more of the Batteltech mechs instead of pretty much just the Valkyrie. I can't believe I forgot to mention battle mechs. They are defiantly a big part of my love for robots. Anyone remember the movie Robotwars?
My robot movie adventures started with "Robbie the robot". That sparked a desire to build and own a robot. I liked "Lost is space". "2001: A Space Odyssey" was great, "Dave, I cannot do that". Self awareness surfaced. I remember taking my wife to "A.I.". We were the only ones in the theater! Star Trek Lt. Commander DATA was my FAVORITE! I also liked "I,Robot", Sonny with the bug (ability planted) to be more. EZ Robot is the closest thing I have found to completing my dreams, and it is advancing! Hang on! Steve S
