I remember R.O.B. from my childhood. How I miss him.

I also recall an incident when my little brother threw the top at my face. *ouch*

[...] Gaming Archaelogy: R.O.B. R.O.B. was Nintendo’s Robotic Operating Buddy, the toy red herring robot that got the original NES into stores after the video game crash of 1983. I have vague memories of this thing, but totally forgot how freaking slow it was. [...]

I’ve seen size designations on the boxes, and I’ve attempted to try on one that was too small. They come in different sizes. Besides, Vinnk’s is a japanese version with obvious molding differences. Maybe they only released the larger size there.

Adult-sized one? It’s one size fits all. I tried on Vinnk’s (portrayed in the Powet Japan video), and it fit just fine.

I have my next few subjects plotted out, and the Power Glove is indeed on the horizon. I had one once, and I love it, but an adult-sized one is an expensive rarity. Also, it’s totally un-usable without a manual. Once I fulfill those two criteria, though: onto the plan it goes.

The Power Pad will also make an appearance.

[edit- Maybe I can't get an XL very easily, since eBay sellers don't usually mention the size, but they're not that expensive. I'll have a small-handed person operate it if need be.]

I seem to remember Caleb saying he couldn’t get his hands on a Power Glove.

Theres definitely a few more classic gaming gadgets left to document, sure.

Seriously, nice job guys. I really had no idea what R.O.B. did, but he looks pretty sweet in this video.

[...] Creo que este video, realizado por la gente de POWE.TV, resulta bastante ilustrativo para las nuevas generaciones de fans de Nintendo, que no conocieron uno de los primeros sistemas de la compañía, el legendario Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). En éste, se habla acerca del funcionamiento del aditamendo conocido como R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy), el simpático robot que ha hecho una serie de apariciones especiales em diversos juegos de la compañía, como F-Zero GX (GCN) o Mario Kart DS (NDS). [...]

The raised eyebrow, quick double-takes and eventual realization were priceless.

Nice video, guys.

Damn, I forgot to put in that stitch of Mariokart footage we got. Oh well.

My next effort will be fully storyboarded.

Me, I love the music selection.

“Holy shit, that’s wrong!”

Okay, yeah, so I watched this thing get put together, but it’s still fun to actually watch.

I’ll agree with that statement. I would have been happier if he took his pants off though I heard there was a new dress code on the site…

Wow! I’ve enjoyed all of the videos posted on the site, but this is probably the best produced video yet. Great job guys!

there are a few other ROB videos on youtube, but they offer no explaination or narrative to guide the viewer as to whats happening.

This is without a doubt the greatest R.O.B. themed video I’ve ever seen.
