Special Comments:
Again, this is one of my favorites.  I realize I may say this often about many of my robots, but I am rediscovering my collection as I am pulling out boxes from my closet for this web page.  As I make a forgotten discovery, it becomes my NEW favorite.  See how that works?

Sometimes all it takes to impress me is design.  This one simply has appeal to me.  He is merely a bump n' go robot that does wheelies depending on how you set an adjustable sliding weight under the front of his skateboard.  For a long time I thought this was surely made my Tomy as part of their "bot" series, but apparently other companies had their own "bot" series going on.
