Johnny five has to be one of the coolest robots of all time first appearing in the movie Short Circuit in 1986 then again in Short Circuit 2 in 1988. so when I saw this excellent replica of number five I had to post it, created by Daniele Benedettelli using LEGO Mindstorms NXT parts, named the JohnNXT.
I cant believe how neat this is the way it moves, stands & even its shoulder Lazar moves in the same way minus the deadly Lazar beam. The only thing it doesn’t have is the on-board radio remote control, so no taking over small air crafts just yet. Daniele Benedettelli did some dimensional study on the real Johnny Five in order to obtain the most precise replica possible.
If like me and many others, you’re a huge fan of the simpsons, you will know that ‘The Simpsons Movie’ is less than two months away. In celebration of the upcoming movie, Microsoft have announced today a Homer Simpson-styled limited edition Xbox 360 Pro, Using the 20GB version instead of the 120GB Elite version.
The bad news for all you hard core collecters is that there will only be 100 limited-edition Simpsons Xbox 360 Pro consoles manufactured, which will be given out as prizes in various competitions leading up to the movie’s release this summer.
The Simpsons Movie is set to release this year on July 27th, 2007. The Simpsons is currently in the middle of its 18th season and has been renewed for a 19th season for 2007 – 2008. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the show since its original debut on The Tracey Ullman Show in 1987.
