Armadillo News – The Robot Group, Inc.

A small independent film company, The Management Productions, asked the Robot Group if we had a robotic head that they could use in their movie.

The Babbling Head was working and available so we agreed. The film is called Armadillo News and follows the antics of a high school journalism class. Filming was done in the parking lot of St. Paul’s Lutheran church.

Armadillo News was shown at the Texas Union Theater on Saturday, May 22, 2004 and made its public debut in October 2004 at the Austin Film Festival.
