For decades, Boys' Life readers have built their own GISMO robots. This month, we introduce GISMO 5. Yes, GISMO is back and has gone green!
i want to do the robot it sounds cool. im going to build it.
This is soooooooooo cool i will show my friends and the word will spread out.
Me gonna get this robo party started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing tottaly rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this idea rules. i want to make 2 and battle with my brother.
these two robots i will make will fite with invisible lazers only…. if i get the stuff to make it and [ if my mom lets me make ] the robot………………………..
to all those who wish for a kit: that destroys the whole point! IMO, the excitement about building the robot is seeing it slowly coming together, and then when you have the final piece, how it FINALLY WORKS!!!!!
I oughta try this…..
hmmmm….
maybe I could use lego mindstorms to make a “souped up” version of it.
sorry tipo i think you men’t destroy. and no wepons jumpjet. to dearmeat and mr cheese i do to you no it should come in a kit, why dosen’t it???????
I really want to try it . I have ben wondering how to buld thoes.
I have an itty bitty RC car so I’ll try making a micro-sized spybot!
i think this looks cool but my parents probably won’t approve of me tearing apart my truck i got for x-mas
this way cool. you should make them into kits and sell um for ten bucks or just sell um premade
I think your robot is real good i project for cub scouts to make.
Wow! this is really nice! I have my own battle bots that can punch and block and shoot invisible laser lines to other robots. I will see if gismo can beat them. I hope he will!
I love all the positive comments and feedback here! The negative remarks are unnecessary. My son is so excited to try and build this! Thanks for the fun idea!
My Brother tried to break the robot but it didn’t work! Ha Ha HA
I have two trucks, Would I be able to make the arms move?
this robot cant defeat the robot im going to make. (‘–’)
I am vary impressed it is amasing ! I only need two more things and I will have it going as soon as possibal
This is a geat way to spend your time when you have nothing to do. I like it!!!!!!!!
COMBAT.
If I find a remote controoled truck, a noodle, and a small tape recorder, I can spy on my sister. HAHAHA
i like the experiment but i wish it came as a kit you could buy and put tigether yourself.
I realy want to try the robot. Maybe i’ll buy it to annoy my sisters with it.
Build GISMO 4, a quick, remote-controlled robot that can do battle with other robots or roll around the house.
so cool
looks cool
i have made ten, and i use them to battle each other. If parts fall off, it is easy to repair. making the ten robots only cost me 20 dollars to buy some cars. they are also pretty big,up to my waist. i also have 2 tiny ones made from cut up boxes on tiny rc vehicles.
Uh……I’ll make mine with arms.
looks hard
AWSOME!!!!!!! i am tottaly building one.
cool
mine i just put other stuff in mine to make it move and it did
Mine will have wings!
awesome
looks hard
