B-9 ROBOT PHOTO GALLERY #03 |
Updated: January 26, 2018
Without a doudt, the Robinson family could never have survived any
length of time without their Robot. Initially, he was stored aboard
the Jupiter-2 as an enviromental exploration device - to check
potentially lethal atmospheres & planets before the family commited
themselves. However, he was programmed by Dr. Smith instead to
sabotage the spaceship and kill them all. After this initial bad
start, matters settled down, and the Robot proved to be loyal and
efficient. He is a model B-9, Mark-3 Robot, with a titanium shell
that can take up to 50 tons of pressure. He is equipped with sensing
devices, and can accept tapes to program him on many subjects.
He is a medical school "dropout", taking two semesters before
transfering to space exploration - at least, according to his
own claims! He also claims to have had intergalactic law programmed
into him in his first semester. Such claims must be taken with a pinch
of salt, since before the Robinsons ventured into space, Earth has had
no contacts with our races. Besides which, the Robot has no need to
attend classes, since any useful information can simply be fed into
him via tapes.
On the other hand, he is brave, dedicated to the family, and Will's best
friend. He is cautious, & extremely cynical about anything connected with
Dr. Smith. His wit tends towards sarcasm, especially at Smith's expense,
and he often mocks the foolish doctor. He takes his responsibilities very seriously, & attempts to teach the children, since there are no schools in outter space. He is able to generate a high voltage electrical spark
between his two clawed hands, which comes in handy when frighting alien
meneces.
