XR-1000

Bio
Launched from Hickam Field in Hawaii, XR-1000 (AKA the Robot) is an experimental Air Force drone that ejected from a plane by parachute over the island. He was recovered by Gilligan, who made him into a friend while the Professor saw huge potential in seeing the robot as help to get everyone rescued. However, Ginger, Mr. Howell and the Skipper, who once called him a tin fugitive from "The Wizard Of Oz," used him as cheap manual labor. Ginger even tried seducing him to get her rescued. Eventually, after several experiments, the Professor realized their best choice was to have the robot walk the sea floor to Hawaii to deliver their message. Unfortunately, Gilligan's rabbit foot got stuck in the robot and completely ruined the recording that the Air Force had no hope of retrieving it.
