- In 1982, the DC-2 robot was making headlines for everything from participating in legal protests, to serving drinks in the Playboy Mansion, to being apprehended by the Beverly Hills Police Department in what was likely the first robot “arrest” ever. What happened?

"Help me, they are trying to take me apart!!" Damn, that would be legitimately disturbing to hear.
I'd agree and feel bad for the Robot
No disassemble!
Disturbing, but also funny in retrospect. :-)
Those kids had good sense of humor :D
JOHNNY FIVE IS ALIVE!
They're tearing me apart, L.I.S.A!

Your comment needs to be pinned for all to see.
Oh hai MK 1
Fuck Lisa!!
LOL...that one got me!
I love the fact that even when they're panicking, they still managed to crack some jokes through the DC-2. 😂
That was pure gold
Hey kids if you take out the robot on the street and get some attention, we can sell some more units.
I'm wondering if that was the inspiration for Jonny-5 ... need to look at when that movie came out...
- Eddy
Second Robot arrested was Johnny 5 in 1988 for acquiring too much input.
No Disassemble!
Your comment gave me a big smile. Haven’t watch it in so long.
Then there was Jenny " XJ9 " Wakeman, who was forced to attend kindergarden, due to being 5 years old.
MOAAAHHH. IIIINNNNNN PUUUTTTTTTT!!!!!
Must be a Mitsubishi or something.
I love how everyone was having a good time. Couldn't even keep a straight face while "arresting" the robot in that photo.

Nice to see the story of Bender's dad. And as I expected he was a drunk alcoholic too.
Don't forget the Blackjack and hookers.
Best part about the video "When the officers approached, the robot took off like a wounded bear, screaming to passer-by, "Help me! They're trying to take me apart!" - LOL
And well before Short Circuit was made, "NO DISASSEMBLE JOHNNY 5!" hmmm.
"You're tearing me apart officer!!!!!" :D
And Johnny 5 was arrested for similar reasons in Short Circuit 2... I wonder if this inspired the filmmakers? :P
I'm surprised someone hasn't restored one of these and stuck a video on youtube. It'd be a pretty spectacular thing to have in your living room.
Bad bots, bad bots-whatcha gonna do?
whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad bots, bad bots, whatcha gonna do when they come for you
I love how journalists were writing completely sensationalized headlines even back then.
wait no, not love...
Sensational Journalism has existed since Gutenberg invented the movable type face printing press
Journalism has never once been an honest profession, rather a dishonest profession which is sometimes taken up by truly honest individuals who buck the system.
@@Calvin_Coolage ...What a profoundly ignorant and cynical statement that attempts to masquerade as prescient all the while appealing to an irrational set of emotional and moral values.
@@jmvsic, same meaningless noises that a journalist would make.
@@jmvsic Sounds like someone's triggered. Dad a journalist? Or do you just want to be one someday and are extremely naive?
I've burst laughing when you described how it was arrested. Dear lord that was hilarious
I think it’s top speed was .5 mph too. Imagine that!
@@colinantink9094 those kids are heroes!
@@colinantink9094 yes culture region is soon too long century year of robotics spreading in everywhere
".... they're trying to take me apart!"
Your "Tech Tales" series becomes better and better with every single episode. This series is TV worthy, but TV is not worthy of you, LGR.
0:47 First I was like: "Wayne Knight was slim and really a cop back then?"
Thats some fallout levels of arresting
Codsworth went down a bad path :(
Danger, Will Robinson!
Danger, Will Robinson! My claws are flailing wildly!
Danger Will Robinson! Dr Smith is a sex offender! (Robot Chicken)
oh i love robot chicken! like the adult version of mad!
Oh, so this is why Skynet is so pissed.
Was it arrested by Robocop?
"booted or standby, you're coming with me!"
Was he charged with battery? AHAHAHAHA I'll see myself out.
Old comment, I know. But hilarious. I choked on my choco bar haha.
I laughed out loud at that one
Get out
Is this where Stallone got the idea to put that stupid robot in Rocky IV?
I lost my shit when I saw that Rocky IV had a motherfucking robot in it.."this is not that kind of movie you idiots get this motherfucking tin can ass out"
Aw come on now, Dolph's acting wasn't that bad.
god damn it you made me spit out my drink all over my laptop screen
Apollo's reaction to that robot is priceless.
@ Daehawk
That was bellow the belt man.
Wait, that smoke filled UFO-themed robot laser-tag maze never happened?
...Is there anything stopping someone from making one now? Because that sounds awesome!
"Help, they're trying to take me apart!" yelled the robot
no disassemble!
The idea of robots being built in 1982 is hilarious to me. You kiddn' me? It's 2018 and we've BARELY got experimental robots that can walk on two legs in an extremely controlled environment. The 1980s had an even looser grasp on what technology was capable of than any decade before it and it wasn't until we actually had the technology to start building this crap that we realized, "Wait, shit, this might be more difficult than I thought it would be."
Jesse Lindsey bipedal locomotion is much further along than that now! We are at the point where cheap toy robots walk bipedally easily. The newest Boston dynamics bipedal can run, do front and back flips and walk over lose and constantly shifting terrain
Brandon Kirkwood Very correct, and they even have a 4 legged pack bot that's almost ready for military service to help carry gear where most motorized transport like a Hummer, or Bradly fighting Vehicle for example can't go in order to help lighten the load on ground forces, and carry things like small arms, extra supplies for a long mission, etc..
This was a tank-tread locomotion robot.
Theodore Seeber Nope 4 legs called WildCat

Yeah WTF 80's get your shit together
7:56 Holy shit, I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard. God I wish someone had gotten that on tape.
Jason Blalock going off another comment on this video, woulda made a great episode of Cops-or Dragnet.
This reminds me of the "Short Circuit" movies.
PollyGlodd no disassemble?

Hey! The first movie had those drink serving robots too!

Tech Tales, welcome back~! We've all missed you so much!!
The DC-2 also appeared in the film 'True Stories' By David Byrne of Talking heads fame, before the track 'love for sale' plays. At least it's the spitting image of the DC-2. My favourite film!!! Trying to get hold of that film here in the U.K is a nightmare!! Sad because it's a masterpiece!!!
I really hope someone _, one of your fans somewhere,_ finds one. I'm saying it right now; if I ever - _ever_ - run across a DC-2, I'm buying it, and it's going *straight* to your P.O. Box, LGR. Just to see the restoration video on _that!_ If anyone deserves an authentic 80's Robot, it's the man who gets more joy from 80's technology - with their fancy knobs and visualizers - than pretty much anyone else on the planet (^-^)
Loved the topic - so glad you did this after the DC-2 showed up in a previous video (even if it _was_ only one of the listings in a single shot with a catalog scan). Was so curious about this thing and, once again, your video went above and beyond with the research, turning out something both entertaining and informational. Awesome!
Oh, this explains Bash's drug robot in GLOW a bit more now. Also nice to know that I'm the same height as a robot named Klatu, which I never expected to find out today.
Now this explains fallouts robots
The Protectron is based on a character called, ahem, "Robby" the robot, from the 1956 film Forbidden Planet. The general aesthetic of the old Securitron and pre-FO4 Sentry Bot however may be derived from 80s tech.
That one with the tuxedo kind of looks like New Vegas securitrons.
The concept is kinda like that!
This the Robot that the mission in GTA Vice City Stories is based off of. I hate that mission though.
TheGamingTree “Domestobot! You lousy piece of crap! You’ve ruined me!”
Yeah...the missions in that game were a chore to play, and not in a fun way either....that and it's story sucked, and Victor got nothing in the end.
What a disappointing end to the 3D era.
jbiehlable VCS wasn't a bad game, yeah, it has some details, but it's relatively fun to play, missions are shorter than the others of the other games, but it's more fun that Liberty City Stories...
What's your opinion on Liberty City Stories?
jbiehlable worst gta game ever!, music, ambience, movements, cinematics, all dude!, sure that it was the first gta ever released on a portable system, but it was a complete piece of garbage, I didn’t like it, gta III was waaaaaaay better than LCS, gta vcs solved all of these, in PS2 in certain way is a good prequel of Vice City, while LCS it’s all the contrary thing
Hmm a Tech Tale, best way to get this relaxing Friday afternoon going. Greetings from Italy!
Ciaoo
No classes Friday and this series is back?!?! Can my day get better?
Oh man, when I was young , I thought having a robot would be the coolest thing ever. This was a super fun episode to watch!
Always thought johnny 5 in the short circuit movie was a practical design for the time. Pity they didn't have the computing power to make them semi autonomous.
Back then they didn't...
That explains a scene in Short Circuit 2, cool. In fact it explains a LOT of Short Circuit.
Found my Star Wars RPG new Droid Character's backstory. Thanks Non-Fiction for being more crazy than Fiction!
Harry Potter's Wizarding World has butter beer. IRL Japan has coffee butter.
Uh, new techtales, my favourite series 😃 greetings from Spain
Tech Tales is my favourite LGR show
I think I was in 4th grade, 1990 I think, we had a robot visit our class a few times...the Topo from Androbot. Blew my tiny little brain.
Wow I really missed LGR tech tales ! So glad they are back . Keep up the good work !
I never knew anything about this, quite fascinating! I would have liked to have been there to seen that robot slowing traffic down and getting arrested, must have been quite a sight. Although I wasn't born then. Thanks for another fascinating LGR Tech Tales!
Very interesting! It would have been nice to have lived in those years, and seen that! Reminds me of the R2D2 robot I saw at a convention I attended! Remote controlled from a distance by an operator of some sort, and what a blast that was earlier this year! Can't wait for your next video LGR, keep up the great work!!
Loved it! I am in the technology researching business and I know how difficult it is to find this much information. I appreciate it so much! Awesome dude!
I love how the DC-1 has the standard sheet metal automotive cutouts for it's AM/FM radio. Something oddly amusing about seeing that 😏
Your Tech Tales videos are the best around. Really interesting and the pacing is spot on.
What a great video. Thank you so much for doing the research and telling us all about this little quirk of history.
You know its going to be a great day when you see LGR Tech Tales thanks Clint I love these!
If I ever got to be on another world for any length of time, I would take the LGR videos with me. Your calming atmosphere of your videos and how informed you are combined with the nostalgic history of what you review would bring back pleasant memories of home after a long day on an alien surface.
awesome video. Love the dramatic reenactment of the cops arriving.
I recall "meeting" one of these near the Maxell booth at the original Us Festival.
With a title like this, makes my fantasies come true.
Tech Tales has returned and what a Surprisingly good episode of Tech Tales hope more Tech Tales episodes come out in the near future
gosh its been so long, always happy to see another tech tales vid. love your presentation and choice of topics.
Fabulous channel! Great work. Keep em' coming.
Tech tales is my favorite series on TH-cam! Keep them coming!
Love your content dude , thanks for putting so much work into your videos
I love your Tech Tales. I consider it the best of all your shows.
I am so stoked you did a new tech tales, I thought you had given up on them.
So I guess you didn't ignore the advertisement for a giant robot after all. Great video, Clint!
These are great, Clint -- keep up the good work.
Good job, you always do alot of work on these.
I had NEVER even of heard of these robots.
Thanks Clint. Another education.
Finally! Where did this series go?! Thanks Clint.
I love this series. Thank you for the wonderful content!
Thanks for the laughter on this one LGR
Finally! Been waiting for another Tech Tales!
Very interesting story and video! Keep up the good work!!
I really woud love to see Tech Tales more often! I think it's my favorite LGR series.
how... how have i not yet subbed to this channel.
i've seen so many of your vids before... no matter, fixed that and going to stream your vids for the rest of the night!
Damn! Amazing video as always... btw last time I checked you had 80k subs, it's crazy how much ppl know you know
Watched this, clicked off, then realized I can comment to say I love this stuff! Really interesting story! Love your tech tales, definitely a nice addition!
Oh shit, you actually Did a video on the DC-2! Thanks, LGR :)
Lol great Tech Tale! Thanks Clint!
Side question: what was the robot used in Rocky 4?
When he said the robot was part of the divorce courts picket playing "She got the goldmine, I got the shaft" I almost pissed myself with laughter. I love that song and to know that a robot in a picket line was playing it was a reality one day just makes me so happy.
That gives that scene in I, Robot where Sonny is apprehended, a lot more sensible meaning now, lol
A fellow classmate of mine who is one of sixteen that has their own Alchemy Lab stations, once presented a manuscript on 'The Perfect Automaton'; it was amazing, and likely next to impossible to implement, but...
I love how the music choice and pace of narrative in LGR Tech tales remind of Unexplained Mysteries and In search of. I am unsure if this was done on purpose or just a happy accident
This is the sort of video that will keep increasing in views because other new people finding it. Never before had there been such a good video on this era in robot craze. Will buy again AAAAA++++
Great video Clint!
i love your tech tales so much !! thank you you are the best ;)
finally another tech tales video! love these keep up the good work!
Ahhh I love these, had to pause real quick to brew up some coffee. Good feels.
I was fucking convinced I'd never see another LGR Tech Tales again, you gotta do these more often
Happy to see the use of The Room font.
YEAH! More tech tales please, these are your best segments!
thank god its friday and i can have lgr! keep it up clint, your a legend.
Very interesting video. Keep up the good work :-)
You’re almost at a million subs! Keep it up dude!
Yes classes Friday and this series is back?!?! Can my day get better?
Great stuff! Stay safe during the storm!
Been waiting for a long time for another one of these!!!!
I really enjoy your videos! They’re actually relaxing to watch as well as intriguing. I guess you could say LGR Is ASMR lol
Yes! I was hoping you had more tech tales in store for us
Love these Tech Tales, hope 2 see more.
Charming video! I'm a little surprised that, at the end, you didn't mention the security robot that accidentally committed suicide. It seemed fitting for weird robot antics, somehow.
