ROAD CONFIGURATION DETAILS
Many design compromises had to be made to insure ROBOSAURUS could easily be transported from show to show.

A Tight Squeeze!

FIGURE 13a. April 17, 1989 ROBOSAURUS Emerges for its First Tests

ROBOSAURUS was constructed in a small 4,000 square foot building with a roll-up door just large enough for full size legal trucks. Monster Robots, Inc. moved into this Sun Valley, California location in July of 1988.

 

It is BIG!

FIGURE 13b. Ready for Early Tests and Pilot Training

Bob Correll, Robosaurus Co-pilot, standing on Robosaurus's back gives perspective to the awesome size of the monster. Details seen in the above skeletal photo (left to right) are the 500 horsepower Cummins Diesel, the bank of Parker HPI hydraulic control valves, the 500 gallon hydraulic fluid reservoir, the swing-in fore legs (raised for road clearance) and the folded ears.
