New B9 Money Clip

It just didn't seem right at this last Robot Convention to pull out my Batman Money Clip when I made a purchase so I decided to remedy that last night. Here is the Batman Money clip I currently use daily....... (click image to zoom)














I will be using this money clip at all Robot Events in the future....

RoboCon 2009 Day 3

We had a lot of fun at this convention and we are discussing plans to make the 2010 Edition even better. One goal is to get more club members to attend and some more Robots on display as well. Here are some closing pictures from Sunday.

RoboCon 2009- Day 2

At these conventions, Saturday is the biggest and busiest day and this year, despite the 14 inches of snow we received, was no exception.












People were coming in large groups to the Robot Arena. We had Star Trek fans from all the series, Star Wars Fans, people from the HorrorFest and ComicFest Conventions which were also being held with StarFest one of the largest Sci-Fi Conventions in the United States.














Two Club Members, Bob G and Jerry C, manned the desk and kept everyone entertained with my Robot with the help of the fantastic I-B9 Software. We had several fans come up and tell Greg and myself that they were at the convention because they were fans of the lost in Space Robot and just couldn't pass up seeing one in person. They were really surprised at the size and how they looked just like the Robot they remembered on the TV Series. More Pictures....

RoboCon 2009 - Day 1

Well...the first day of RoboCon is history and it was a blast. We decided to arrive early this year, 8:00am rather than 1:00pm and it proved to be a wise decision as it took us just over 4 hours to set up everything and get operational.













This is the display for the Bob May Candy Bar Tribute. The B9 Club purchased the candy and 100% of the sales will be donated to Bob May's Family. He is truely missed by the Club...















The "SlideShow Kiosk Station" This is where I showed the pictures of the Robot's building history, past Conventions he's attended and various other pictures were played as a slide show. It was a big hit.
