@@geoffreywood5808 - I have that cutout in a corner of my room right now. I also have one with the sensor which talks. Are you behind that one, as well?
@@tron3entertainment no. Bob had said he was trying to get hold of something life%sized to have at his autograph booths. My partner and I had a few connections through working security at conventions. We couldn’t afford a real robot, but we could the hundred or so for the cutout. First time he used it was in Las Vegas at the Comic, adult video and sci-fi convention in the early 90’s.
Correct! BUT, Bob May was the actor on the set performing the Robot moves and his lines with his scene partners. Tufeld's voice was looped (ADR'ed) in post.
Bob May would do the lines in the script, the ad-libs with Jonathan Harris and he had a switch where he turned the light on and off to match his speech. Dick Tufeld would then over dub his voice, although sometimes you can hear May's voice when Harris was talking over him.
He had a button in the claw that he pushed when he would talk ..watch the right claw when the robot talks you will see it move ...that's bob may pushing the button .
As a long term multi-patent holding mechanical design engineer, I question his claimed weights for the outfit - especially the top section. He doesn't even know that the torso section was actually made from fiberglass. Actual weight would have been much lower. ua-cam.com/video/LrORai7xrDk/v-deo.htmlsi=I1t6xUU_-Fw8lGbv&t=268
BOB MAY WAS NOT THE VOICE OF THE ROBOT, DICK TUFELD WAS. HE WAS THE MAN IN THE COSTUME. HIS VOICE WAS OVERDUBBED. GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT. NOT KNOWING THAT BASIC FACT MAKES ME LOSE FAITH IN ANYTHING YOU PRODUCE.
@@exoressdelivers70 It rather pisses me off that they person who put this up has still after 2 years, either not read this or chose not to correct the title.
Dick Tufeld was the voice of the Robot in Lost in Space. Bob May played the Robot.
That's right!!!.- 🤔🤖🧐🛸🫡🎇🙂🛰️😛🌎😃
I was Bob’s assistant during the 90’s. He was the actor inside the robot Dick Tufeld was the voice over actor.
The life size robot pic he is using to demonstrate was made by myself and my partner.

Bob May played the robutt, but Dick Tufeld was the voice.
Absolutely Right

@@patnstephen2 Tomw was just pointing out the error in the title of this UA-cam video. "Bob May (Voice of the Robot - Lost in Space)"
Awesome interview.😊😊😊.
LOVE BOB MAY SO HAPPY TO MEET HIM HE COME TO THE UK VERY FUNNY MAN WE MISS HIM.

I wish there was film of Bob lighting up with smoke pouring out of the robot!
Electrical malfunction!
error, Tufeld was the voice, Bob May was the one 'inside' the robot.
As nimble as he was in the Bermuda suit, I find it hard to believe it was really 250 pounds.
Dick may have done the lion's share of the voice over, but any time the robot sings, that was Bob's voice.
Bob May- great guy, even though we never met
While I watched the series, in re-runs, I thought it was a real robot!
Wow, this was great
Wonder which robot was featured in this stage show in Sydney Australia.
Never Fear Smith is Here with Jonathan Harris - 1994
This is great to see .
It never occurred to me that there was a person inside that thing.
Wrong! Bob was inside the robot. Dick Tufeld's voice as dubbed over Bob's voice in post production.
You need to correct your video title.
Bons tempos ❤😮😮😮
DANGER!
Classic
Did bob May do the voice of Dino in the Flintstones when dino was first introduced as the snorkasouras Fred adopted when they went camping?
Mel Blanc was the voice of Dino
Smoking is a bad idea.
Bob May wasn't the voice
That was Dick Tufeld

He looks too tall to have fit in the robot suit. I assume whoever was inside used the transparent "collar" to view the outside.
Change the tittle of the video.
PLEASE!!
BOB MAY WAS NOT THE VOICE OF THE ROBOT, DICK TUFELD WAS. HE WAS THE MAN IN THE COSTUME. HIS VOICE WAS OVERDUBBED. GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT. NOT KNOWING THAT BASIC FACT MAKES ME LOSE FAITH IN ANYTHING YOU PRODUCE.
Thank you. I thought that this man didn't sound anything like the robot.

250 pounds minimum. He must have worked out something fierce.
It was on wheels.
Um, yeah, might want to change the title on this video. This is how misinformation spreads.
Errr 300lbs, I don’t think so and carrying 250lbs on a harness? Really?
