A £35,000 Kickstarter fundraising campaign was started 0n 10th may 2016, in a bid to rebuild “Eric” a Twenties “talking” robot, to be uncovered this autumn.

The robot, which matched a knight, had blue sparks that came from its teeth, formed with 35,000 volts of electricity. It gave the impression of replying questions, but these were given by a secret person. Inside Eric’s body were motors, electromagnets and about 3 miles of wire moving his arms and head. If the Kickstarter campaign to remade him is successful, the fresh version will go on public show in October 2016 for a month before a worldwide tour.
