Raising students’ interest in robots and technology.
After years of touring his highly successful show Robo-Tec, Leslie Barnett has produced a new show
- Gismos, Gadgets and Machines. The original robot, Algatron is joined by three new robot friends,
Metal Mickey, Ocker the talking bird and Gismo an amazing robot mask.
The loveable cheeky Metal Mickey has learnt a new boogie song and dance routine and needs a
partner to dance with. Made from all the latest animatronic technology Metal Mickey has some pretty
funky dance moves.
Gismo is a life-like, paper mache mask that is worn by a volunteer. The audience is surprised to see
that the volunteer doesn’t need to do anything. The mouth of the mask moves by itself and the row of
large pearly white teeth that are revealed as it talks are hilarious. As with each of Leslie’s
robots, after the laughs he shows and explains their workings and what they are made of.
In Gismo’s construction, a bicycle lever has been used to great effect.
By far and away the most adorable of Leslie’s new robots is Ocker Bird-Dog (Gadget).
Are this robot’s responses pre-programmed or is this bird able to answer any question?
Gismos, Gadgets and Machines is a fun way to tweak students’ interest in science and
technology.
