A group of filmmakers recently came to our attention when they requested an interview with Stampede's S. S. Wilson. They were making a documentary on famed robot Number Five, star of Short Circuit and Short Circuit II. But the whole course of their research was changed by new information they found. They claim to have uncovered a decades-old robot which was the inspiration for the Number Five character.

We of course insisted on some proof. What we saw was quite amazing, and what evolved was a deal in which they have agreed to let us post portions of their rough-cut footage. Posted here is the first installment. We hope you find it interesting. Additional segments are due to be completed in the coming weeks, including the segment with S. S. Wilson. So, stay bookmarked.
