    Rob the Robot brings a smile to my face as someone who grew up in the 80s and owned an NES as his first console. To this day, not sure what it did, but still want one. Will go down as the greatest console…

    Rob the Robot brings a smile to my face as someone who grew up in the 80s and owned an NES as his first console.

     

    To this day, not sure what it did, but still want one.

     

    Will go down as the greatest console gimmick probably ever.

     

    Good challenge on its own to find something useful to do with Rob the Robot.

     

    :-)

    Great Video.  You certainly have the personality as well as the build skills for the part.  Nice job in adding just enough detail for the build in such a short video.

     

    Nice job!

    LMAO at CHRTL! Good production values, with the exception of jumpy audio in spots. And so much light bloom! It looks like you're running a smoke machine in there. Getting a bit of a Red Green vibe at 2:27. image Overall great job!
