ELAMI Robots

Elami Robot Family

Elami Robot Family

The ELAMI robots were created by Robotland out of Florida.  There were supposed to be three different versions of the ELAMI robots starting with a small 12″ version, an 18″ version, and a large 36″ tall robot.  It seems that the small 12″ version of the robot shows up but so far I have not seen any of the larger versions except in pictures.  It’s too bad since the larger ELAMI robots sound very interesting!  If you happen to have any more details on the larger versions please let me know and I can update this page.
