ROBOSAURUS

It’s not all stardom and glamour for our robotic friend though; underneath all of that welded steel is a complex mishmash of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical technology that requires the operator to juggle controls with their entire body. From their cockpit inside Robosaurus, they are connected by a fly-by-wire Waldo system (think Ripley’s forklift in Aliens) with their fingers controlling the claws, jaw, head, neck, body, ears and fire; their arms controlling Robo’s arms; and their feet controlling the speed.

If this sounds like a bit of fun, you might be interested to learn that on January 19, Hays is putting Robosaurus up for sale by worldwide auction at barrett-jackson.com. Yes, if you’ve ever dreamed of owning a fire-breathing mechanical dinosaur, Robosaurus might be just the thing. It’s going to cost, however. Hays estimates that in today’s dollars, Robosaurus cost him US$5,000,000 to make. And that’s what he reckons it will go for.

What You’re Bidding On:

Your 12-metre high mechanical dinosaur comes with:
•    Full show equipment
•    Three racing radios (2 channel FM w/headsets)
•    Remove control special effects board
•    Telex transmitter and receiver system
•    Ham band TV Station – for live broadcast to pilot
•    Hi-8 video camera
•    Programming console for onboard animation computer system
•    Tool kit for loading and unloading Robo
•    Service, maintenance and operation manuals
•    Touch-up paint
•    Numerous transport cases to hold above items
•    Other spare parts, shop equipment, materials etc. are available by separate treaty
Optional extra: Semi-tractor available by separate treaty US$45,000
