Robots that seem to come out of a Tim Burton film are what Gordon Bennett likes to create. To best explain the history of these little creatures I shall put an excerpt from his own site:
These robot sculptures are made from a mixture of found objects which are both old and new. The parts are found in various places including garbage dumps, basements, construction sites, and garage sales. They are inspired by Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy whose visions of the "Modern Age" helped shape industrial design of the 40's and 50's.They are especially not meant to be a toy when they range in price from $750 to $3000. But if you have deep pockets, go for it... and if you're feeling generous: send me one!
The materials are wood, metal, bakelite, glass, plastic, rubber and paint. Each robot is a unique, one-of-a-kind sculpture and receives its own numbered metal tag as proof it's an authentic Bennet Robot Works robot. Each robot takes about a month to build. They range from 14" to 25". There are no moving or battery operated parts. They are not meant to be a toy.
