Custom-designed Robot from "Lost in Space"
(New Line Cinema, 1998), the film version of the
hit 1965-68 CBS television series. The Robot was
the buddy of young Will Robinson, played by

family of explorers who get lost in deep space and
have to band together to survive and triumph over
treachery and the unknown. Other stars of the film are

The Robot was the grand prize of MTV's "Lost in Space"
Sweepstakes held in early April 1998, and the Robot is
being offered now by the sweepstakes winner. The following
is the grand prize description from the sweepstakes'
official rules: "'Lost In Space' Sweepstakes will award one
(1) Grand Prize package. The Grand Prize Winner will be
awarded the Robot from the movie 'Lost In Space". The Grand
Prize package consists of: one (1) 600 pound Robot from the

winner has kept the Robot in the crate in which it was
