[RicoOurRobotFriend]

No CGI. All animatronic.

what are the tracks from, did you make them or buy them, if you made them can you make a video or tell me how you made them

[RicoOurRobotFriend]

I bought a RC tank kit and used the chassis, tracks, motors and speed controllers for the base.

i am 13 and i love robots. i am trying to get a new remote, but i want to know what remote you are using

[RicoOurRobotFriend]

I am using a Multiplex 12 channel radio modified with a gamer joystick hooked up to it to do some of the moves.

Man he's funny

[Bobzeaux]

No no no no no, this is ALL wrong. It's been a year ago today that this video was released, and it's Rico's ONLY youtube appearance? This needs to be a continuing SERIES, man! Rico gets into a bunch of wacky adventures on Earth (he IS from a different planet, right?) and learns about humanity, while at the same time adding some sort of social commentary based on what he knows from his OWN people.

SERIES! SERIES! SERIES! XD

you guys are insane. cool robot though...his movements seem fast. how long until rico is combat ready?

[RicoOurRobotFriend]

I made this on my own-not associated with work. He is fully radio controlled with 12 moves. He does move pretty fast. He is an actor, not a fighter.

[iliketheocean]

Good to know. I'll sleep better knowing he won't be coming after me. Nice work.

Incredible video. You should tell Sesame Street about this.

[SimiV15]

You know who I am.
