I'm adding my Lost in Space B9 robot build to my growing list of robots. To kick it off I've just edited a new video showing how I create the silicone rubber parts for the B9 robot. WARNING: its 10 minutes long...and paint drying might be more interesting.
And here is a very old video of my first attempt at replicating the B9. This will now change as technology has changed and now with Synthiam products I should be able to build an amazing robot!

So you still had all the casts from back when you build the first B9? Nice workshop...I don't think this is your garage, is it?
What a huge project....have fun!!!
Haha yes it’s my overfilled garage/shop! Yes I built those molds 13 years ago and I still make parts for the B9 builders club. So this video was shot two weeks ago. I’ve made 500 sets to date.
Unfortunately i I only have pictures of the process of making the molds, as I didn’t own a video camera at the time. I think this was before video on phones?!
OMG! This is going to be soooo Coool!
All I can say is WOWlove
Thanks for sharing those videos Will, so awesome to see the process!
Thanks guys! Hopefully i Will start my proper YouTube channel at the end of summer jumping between robot projects. Should be fun!
I'm thrilled and honored that my B9 robot has a full set of Will's silicone rubber parts. Legs, Arms and bubble lifter boot. Here's a video I took a couple years ago that does a good job showcasing how amazing these parts are. I can truly say that without these parts my robot would have not looked and moved like the real TV robot from the 60's TV show. In fact I can easily say that these parts crowns my robot and makes it better than the original.
Thanks Will for helping make a childhood dream come true!
Always great stuff!
thanks for the videos
