Retrofire - Rockets & Robots is back in force, www.retrofire.com! Starting in the next several weeks with "Project K-9". An adaptation of Doctor Who's robot dog. The emphasis will not be on plans for the dog itself, rather the platform and options for making K-9 come alive.

I'm soliciting suggestions for featuers and options for the build. There will be a K-9 area on our forums within the next few weeks for adding your input.

Keep in touch... we will begin the roll out of the K-9 robot pooch soon!

cya soon!

Project Reggie is under way at www.retrofire.com. This is a call to all those interested in applying their input to the project of building a 24" scale model robot fashioned after the ROBO Bartender Bot from the Star Wars Book "The Essential Guide to Droids".

Concepts, ideas, and modifications can be discussed on the Retrofire Forums. Hope to see you all there!

Yours in Robots,

Gary Chief Robotman http://www.retrofire.com
