ROB Robot question

TN

Could someone give a rundown of what is considered a complete ROB robot.  If I were to buy one what parts would be expected to be included for it to be truely complete?  Also, what is commonly missing or broken?

Also, could someone let me know what the parts are used for broken down by Stackup and Gyromite. 

I can't say I have ever seen a complete on or one that works properly, so I am at a loss.

Mine has:



ROB! (with battery case cover)

2 "claw" hands for gripping gyros

2 gyros

Battery-operated gyro spinner with battery case cover

Controller holster with gyro pads

1 armiture for holding gyros off the pads and spinner



Stack-up comes with:



2 "grippy" hands for blocks

5 multicolored "blocks" (cylinder slices)

5 armitures for holding blocks

plastic tray

book + cart

Everything needed for Stack-Up can be found in a CIB Stack-Up; ROB never came bundled with any of those parts. Everything needed for Gyromite can be found in a CIB Deluxe Set or a CIB Big-Box Gyromite. Look up pics of either of those or consult either games manual (scanned here on NA). As for the Stand-alone ROB, he didn't come with any extra parts other than a pair of "shades" to put over his eyes if the TV/surroundings were too bright.



As for what's most commonly broken, it's almost always his ability to move his arms up and down. Side to side movement is usually still functional, but if you see a picture of a ROB and his arms are all the way down at the base, it's a good bet he's broken.

I wouldn't let a broken one put me off. I've bought several mal-functioning ROB's and either fixed the mechanism inside his "body" or used his outer shell to put on to another ROB as a sort of quality upgrade if the other shell was discoloured etc.

The gyromite sets are fairly easy to find loose on ebay for peanuts, stack up parts are a lot more expensive unless you cop out and buy the famicom robot stack up set which is a lot cheaper but white instead of grey
