Just got up and saw this on one of my SF feeds.
From Sci-Fi Storm. Veteran actor/stuntman Bob May, who donned the metal suit of Robot B9 (primarily know as just "Robot" for most of the series), passed away earlier today from congestive heart failure at the age of 69.
He wasn't the voice of the Robot but he did have the harder job acting in that huge stuffy suit. He was younger than I thought.
It's funny back when GURPS Robots first came out. I tried to do a GURPS version of the Lost in Space robot for the old All of the Above APA. One of these days I should go back to that file and update it to 4th edition.
