Homemade Robby the Robot Forbidden Planet Life Size Costume
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 окт 2020
- My husband built his own life-size Robby the Robot costume from scratch! He learned CAD and 3D printing in order to make it. This video showcases him making, building, and wearing his incredible replica costume of Robby the Robot, the iconic sci fi character first seen in the 1956 movie, Forbidden Planet. Larry and I hope you enjoy this video and wish all of you Happy Halloween!

WOW!!! Absolutely Amazing Talent to build something like Robby!! He is Awesome!!
funny that you mention colombo. My dad was watching it and robby was in the scene as I walked by. I said "what in the hell is that" He paused and stared right at me... YOU DONT KNOW ROBBY THE ROBOT?
hahaha we cracked up laughing.
but wow... this man's work on this is INCREDIBLE!!!!! The way the joints move, the electrical work, the craftsmanship of the build, the 3d modeling... You're a lucky lady to be married to such a talented man! :) You both make me so happy that you have such a love for each other's passion! The sound is sooooo great too! :D
edit: wow and I just realized thaat you do a lot of history on cemeteries! My dad is also SOOOO in love with cemeteries. Interesting that y'all hold similar interests!
Hahaha! Have you seen Forbidden Planet, yet? If not, you should watch it with your dad.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, I bought all the Aurora monster models. By the time I was finished, they were covered in glue and fingerprints. I'm now 57 and can do a little better, but not much. People like your husband are so astounding to me! His expertise is extraterrestrial compared to mine. Thank you so much for posting this awesome video.
Thank you, Eugene! I don't think Larry quite realizes how talented he is. His playfulness and creativity are inspiring to me, though. Glad you enjoyed this video. :)
Robbie is a character I've dreamed of playing for literally 40 years but never could focus the time & funding to build my own. Kudos on pulling off an amazing feat!!
Thanks, Matt! I will pass your comment along to Larry. He put a solid 4 months into building Robby, but he's loved him his whole life.
Haha easy? I don't think it is that easy. That is really awesome. Great work. 😀👍
I know, right? I know he wants to be encouraging, but I wouldn't use the word "easy," for his Robby project, either! He put a lot of hours into that project, but that's his idea of fun. :) Thanks for watching!
Maybe you could have added a dry ice cooling compartment with fan to cool yourself off. I still wouldn't recommend walking outside on a hot day though. Great Job Larry.
He does have 5 cooling fans in there, but maybe some dry ice would help, too. And, yeah, I think Larry's Robby-wearing will occur indoors with a/c for the most part! Thanks for watching! :)
Very cool! I have always wanted my own Robby! Big fan of FORBIDDEN PLANET. I saw it for the first time on my 9th birthday on August 9, 1956 at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, a birthday gift from my Dad.
Oh, wow! How cool that you saw it at Grauman's Chinese! I'm actually working on another video of Larry getting into his Robby outfit. It takes a while! The video should be ready by this weekend.
A Truely Beautiful Job
Thank you so much 😀 Larry put a lot of effort into Robby.
I'm jealous of your skill, I love your creation and creativity!!! It is beautiful!!!
I know what you mean, Joe! Larry's super skilled and creative! I never know what project he'll get up to next.
Really amazing. Looks like quite a lot of design work, testing and possibly redesign to make everything to come together so nicely, including the electronics, motors and gears. Applause.
Incredible work!!!! I take my hat off to you sir!!
Amazing work.
Fantastic!
Thanks! It's pretty amazing, isn't it?
You left out the two white "wig wags" in the head. :)
Very impressive. I've always wanted a Lost in Space B9 robot.
I remember Robby from;
The Twilight Zone (two episodes)
Lost in Space (two episodes)
Ark II
Mork and Mindy
Columbo
The Addams Family
Project U.F.O. (different head)
Wonder Woman (as a suit performer at a sci-fi convention)
A Charmin commercial
A Starlog commercial
The movie Gremlins
His car/tractor was used in an episode of The Twilight Zone, but they never showed the front of it to see if Robby was driving it.
Very observant! Larry has a reason for that. I'll let him answer. Thanks for watching. :)
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know, right? Larry's projects always amaze me. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
This is so cool I wish I had the means to make this. Not to mention the room to store it. I do have a series of model kits I built of Robbie.
that is a lot of time and talent it's amazing wow ,thanks for sharing👍💜
Yeah, he does so many amazing projects. Had to share this one! Thanks for watching. :)
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful stuff.
Isn't it fun? Thanks for coming by!
I remember Robbie the Robot from Lost in Space. This is amazing!! You husband is so talented.
I never know what that hubby of mine will get up to next! Thanks so much for watching! :)
Robby also appeared in 2 episodes of Lost in Space.
That’s amazing! Great work sir!
Thank you kindly! He really did a great job on his Robby the Robot. Thanks for watching. :)
Wooooooow! That’s like one of my biggest dream costumes. This is AMAZING!
Thanks! Larry worked really hard on this costume, but it came out great!
There are plans available for Robby online that are the original plans used to build Robby, There are also scans of original drawings for the working parts, however, they are not to scale. The dome has to be the hardest part to fabricate and it looks like you got a reasonably good one. Using plaster as a substrate to pull the plastic over is always problematical because it cracks as it dries as you found out. What thickness of plastic did you use?
I'll tell Larry to get on here and answer your questions. Yeah, that first dome didn't come out so great, but I helped him with the next ones, and he used the best pull in his final costume. He always says that the dome was the hardest part! And didn't know there were plans available online for Robby now. When he was making his last year, he looked for makers clubs online, but couldn't find any. I think a few have sprouted up since. Thanks so much for watching!
I was using .125 in in the video, but .25 would be better
Wow!! INCREDIBLE! Thank you for making this video. It’s definitely an inspiration for anyone interested in ROBBY. GREAT JOB! :)
Thanks, Ron! That's the reason Larry wanted to share this. He really enjoys inspiring other people to create things.
Amazing! Your attention to detail and obvious love and respect for the character of Robby the Robot is incredible! Also, you are a mechanical wizard.
He really is, Todd! It's always fun to see what he'll do next. Thanks for watching. :)
@@TuiSnider Is there a program available that shows how he cast (I guess that is old fashioned) how he made the 3-D copies of the larger parts, the trunk, arms, legs mid-section? Robby the Robot has a fan base bigger than some real actors and actresses, have any independent film makers approached your husband requesting to use his creation in some Forbidden Planet prequel?
Larry learned CAD so he could create Robby, so he made his own files. No filmmakers have approached him, but that would be fun! He did wear Robby at an event at the local science museum once.
@@TuiSnider Has he built any other famous robot costumes, or is Robby his one and only? As you can tell, I'm a sci-fi nerd, love everything about science fiction. Aside from being a videographer and spokesperson, what are your interests?
@@toddholmes4480 Larry and I love sci fi. He has some ideas for future projects, but this is his only robot, so far. As for me, I write books, give talks, and lead tours. My specialty is historic cemeteries and cemetery symbolism.
Ryobi!! Hilarious! Y'all folks are awesome, so glad I found your website which introduced me to your world! Cool stuff!
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for watching. We have a lot of fun around our house. :)
I remember Robbie from "Lost in Space". That is so cool. There was so much thought and technical application and work put into this. I know the suits at Disney have cooling fans and some have ac inside of them to keep the occupant cool. You may want to try something like that. Great video. Keep Safe ❤ Keep Well ❤
Some a/c in Robby would be super helpful. If anyone can figure out how to do that, Larry can! Thanks for watching!
That was a different robot 🤖 from lost in space
Robby actually was on an episode of Lost in Space as an enemy of the B9 robot,
Wow. Very good job, as a huge Robby fan, I'm quite impressed by this. That's one incredible Halloween costume you've got there.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Yes, Larry went all out on this project. Robby's like another member of our family now. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting!
Watching Larry build this gave me a new appreciation for Robby the Robot, that's for sure!
Thanks for watching Teal.
In the video Larry mentions the 'mouth lights' in passing but doesn't actually tell how he made that part. could we get some of the details? Again, great work on this.
I'll tell him to come reply to your comment. Thanks so much for watching! :)
I have three sections of EL rope with seperate voice activated drivers for each section. I set the trigger threshold for the center section at a lower level than the top and bottom.
@@larrysnider7382 Thanks Larry! Did you run the EL wire through clear tubing to make it look more like neon? I've seen that done.
@@dalekasylummilwaukee4186 Larry says: "No, I just bought the "fat" EL rope." Does that make sense?
Thank you Larry. It's great that you are so willing to share. Are there any plans for you to release or sell you stl files?
I was subscribed before . But youtubedeleted . You also videoed cemtaries i think. I subscribed again . Robbie rot and the lost in space claw robot facinated me in 1968 or so .
Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm wondering if you could tell us what type of plastic was used on the dome and it's thickness.
I'll get Larry on here to clarify later today!
I live here and I don't even know the answer - lol! ;p
PETG .125in
Thanks!
Great of you to share this
Anybody could do it? I don’t think you give yourself enough credit. And Clearly you haven’t met me! 😂 I can’t even put up a shelf let alone make something like this 😁
Haha! I know, right? I have enough trouble making instant pudding, and here he whips up this amazing robot!
It must be like an oven inside
How much for one of those!? I would love one
The original Robby sold for more than any other movie prop. People have tried to buy our Robby from us, but he's a part of the family now - lol! Thanks for watching.
If you husband has already created the files necessary to print out the pieces needed to build Robby, could I not purchase these files from him so that I would only have to learn how to use the 3D printer rather than having to learn a #D design program like Auto CAD ? I would love to have a Robby the Robot to go with the Lost in Space robot that I had to build the old-fashioned way.
I'll ask Larry to weigh in on this! Seems like he would still have those files, but I don't really know. Very cool that you have built a B-9!
Larry says the Facebook group Robby the Robot 3D has good files available for free! Hope this helps you. (Larry's a member of that group, so maybe you will see him there.) When Larry made his Robby, there were no files available yet online.
@@TuiSnider Thank you very much, I will check out this this site out. I am a member of the Robot Builders club but have not kept up ! Cheers !
@@tricitiestv Wonderful! Have fun building your Robby! :)
Anyone can do it! Count me out!
Lol!
wow doublemwow
The original Robbie cost over a million dollars, in today's money
How much to make? Can I get one from you???
It took 4 months of long days for my hubby to make this Robby. It's not for sale, but there are now online clubs that can help you make one of your own.
Wow , is that your house ? How can you live like that ? Why would you not finish the house construction before living a life and leave it like that and stuff is all over the place …
The spaces shown in this video are my husband's lab and other work areas, not our actual living space. It's easy to make judgments and assumptions about other people without getting to know them. Oh, well! Have a good one.
@@TuiSnider it’s still not finished!
@@InFltSvc🫏hole
Fantastic!
Thanks for watching, Randy! :) If you want to see Larry getting into his Robby costume, check out our video tomorrow: ruclips.net/video/w6JjBb6ut8w/видео.html
Looking forward to it. Amazing!
