 ==In the Beginning==
-Robbie was built a number of years ago and consisted of a tracked drive, or "tank" portion and a arm section. The tank part of Robbie was used for transport and carried the tracked drive system and power pack. The arm was made of mecano and housed a camera and a pincer arm for manipulating the planetary surface. This Robbie was lost years ago and since then Sim has excavated the tank portion. The arm is believed to be in the possession of his creator, Neil Fraiser.

 ==The Next Generation==
-Robbie was excavated from the [[Junkyard]] in [[2005-06|2005]]. With the help of the [[Admiral]], alumni and parents, Spacesim hoped to have Robbie up and running in time for mission [[Prometheus]]. The arm of Robbie still needed to be built and an all new control system has to be created before Robbie becomes fully operational. As it would seem, Robbie the robot was not functional for the previously-stated [[mission]], and is [[currently]] in a state of disrepair.

Discussions of Robbie's refurbishing have recently become more frequent and determined, and outlines of plans are known to exist for his resurrection.

-Spacesim contacted the Glebe Robotics Club in order to enquire as to the acquisition of a new robot. Unfortunately, Glebe had no spare robots, though they did give us contact information to other sources of help. Nothing further has been accomplished on Robbie; however, [[Laura]] the submarine used various ideas from Robbie.

 ==Purpose==
-The purpose of Robbie is similar to that of any other space exploring robot; to seek out new live and civilizations and to boldly go where no man has gone before. Also, Robbie is used to scout the planetary surface for possible dangers before the [[astronauts]] emerge from their Spacesim, his arm and camera providing visual feedback for the [[astronauts]] about the planetary surface. He was also useful for showing off to the rest of the school and making Spacesim look extremely smart and cool.
