Mark's B9 Robot Resources

Here’s my completed robot.
I scratch-built everything from the waist down, plus the collar and torso vents. I took more than four years to build him, but it can be done in far less than that. You could spend anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 on this project, depending on materials and features.

My robot and I are pictured in the 4th edition of Flint Mitchell's book that started it all, You Can Build the Lost in Space Robot. Click here to order your own copy from Amazon.com.

It’s certainly possible to build the B9 robot from the classic TV series Lost in Space. All it takes is time, patience, and some money to play with. My own robot (pictured at left) is now complete, and I’ve put together some information pages to help get you started on your own project:
