"Danger! Danger Will Robinson!" Sure, you may know where this quote is from but did you ever think you would meet one of television's best-known and most beloved robotic characters of the last 50 years? Join Mike Ogrinz as he presents his replica of the B9 robot from the classic 1960's sci-fi television show "Lost in Space" at the Westport Public Library this Wednesday night. A director of a financial institution, Ogrinz decided to build his own B9 robot after joining the online B9 Robot Builders Club, which provides building tips and even technical support. The demonstration will include a detailed explanation of Ogrinz's construction method, a Q & A session and even a few robotic anecdotes from the B9 Robot himself (itself?).
Westport Public Library, 20 Jesup Road, Westport. Wed., Aug. 1, 7 p.m. (203) 291-4800, westportlibrary.org.
