However, if you read most reviews of the movie it was not the only detail lost!” When (one) stood next to B9 it had a real presence, which I feel was completely lost in the movie. Being primarily hydraulic, B9 moved virtually silent, could apply 1 ton of force between its fists, and with a 1000W 24V motor in each track it could get up to a fair speed.
“B9 was a beautiful piece of engineering once complete. They were built in 1997 by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. They were one of the teams to build the two completely functional “B9’s” used on screen and provide a fairly descriptive write up of the cumbersome process. The first source comes from Micromagic Systems, who create robots and animatronics for use in films. Will utilizes a backup of the Robot’s memory and injects some of his own personality to bring Robot back to life.Īfter searching the depths of the internet, I have only come across a few resources for more information on the development of the robot. The Robot is seen in two incarnations during the course of the film the fully-loaded Robot you see here is destroyed in a last stand protecting the Jupiter 2 crew from carnivorous spider-like creatures on the Proteus and another when Will Robinson then rebuilds the Robot using spare parts, which ends up harking back to the classic B9 design from the original series. It was completely re-designed for the feature film remake in 1997.

Voiced by the late Dick Tufeld (1926–2012) in both the original television series and the more recent film, the Rambler-Crane Series Robot is sometimes referred to “B9”. I have spent many nights scouring the depths of the web in search for quality photos and other details but it always turns out fruitless I can only hope this post will aid someone else seeking out resources on the robot’s design, prop and overall production for the feature film. Seen only in the 1998 Lost In Space feature film, (which currently sits at a very disheartening 29% on RottenTomatoes), there is surprisingly very little in terms of resources, photos, and anything else on the design and construction of the Robinson family’s “robot”.
