Welcome to our page. In case you are not familiar with the Rollerbots, let me introduce you to them~
Rollerbots are one-wheeled unique little creatures that were developed from the imagination and talent of creator Arnulfo M.G. Jacinto, Jr. back in 1979. The Rollerbots stand just three feet tall and are fascinated with learning more about the world, specifically in the areas of art, art history, mathematics, physics, sports, and the God of this universe!
The concept of the Rollerbots is a cross between Warner Brothers cartoons, the classic Looney Tunes, and the subject matter and computer animation of the Christian series Veggie Tales. However, unlike Veggie Tales, the story lines of the Rollerbots do not follow Biblical stories but rather Biblical principles. They deal with issues of everyday life and questions that relate not only to the Bible but to education and sports, as well.
Rollerbots are unique in that they were not emulated from or inspired by any other robot or science fiction or fantasy characters. The Rollerbots were actually based on circles and the curves of my VW bug that I drove. The stick shift on the back of the Rollerbots was inspired by the stick shift in the car.
Originally they were a school comic strip entitled "Out of This World", and they were only three inches tall. After the second year they went from three inches to three feet tall. At this point, if there was any inspiration from Star Wars, which had come out only two years previous, it would be that their height was inspired by R2-D2 so that the Rollerbots could interact better in the world and relate to children who are roughly the same size.
While Rollerbots have no facial expressions, they are able to express emotions through their body movements. Although all Rollerbots look very much alike, there are some slight differences one must be very observant to notice. The reason for this is that from the Rollerbots' perspectives, we humans, or Pedxings ("Peds) as they call us, look very much alike.
