Trek Expo 2005
A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a local website that was promoting the annual Trek Expo that Tulsa hosts every year. Out of curiosity, I browse through the list of attending celebrities and Bob May is on the agenda. Sweet.
Also attending was fellow B9 Robot Builder Travis Jeter from the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In tow was his impressive B9 Robot. This was the first time I've actually spoken with a B9 builder in person about their robot. Travis was cool enough to shoot the breeze with me about his building experience and gave me some tips on hooking up the Tech 2000 neon transformer. Thanks Travis!
For those of you that don't know, Bob May was the only actor to portray B9 in the three season run of Lost in Space. That's Bob on the left, Travis's robot in the middle and yours truly on the right.
There are a few things I should note about Bob. He's quite a showman. Very good with people and knows how to work the room. He genuinely loves talking about his experience with Lost In Space. Most impressive.
