Although its power source is unidentified, it weighed about 1000 pounds (1/2 ton) and was programmed for multiple jobs, including data retrieval, computation and physical 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. </p> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Trivia</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">Actor <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Bob%20d%27Arcy%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Bob%20d%27Arcy%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BBob%20d%27Arcy%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-19222651455f60e4fa23816" href="/wiki/Bob_d%27Arcy" title="Bob d'Arcy">Bob d'Arcy</a> who played the robot also guest starred on a episode of "Dusty's Trail" (Episode: "Then There Were Seven") which starred <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Bob%20Denver%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Bob%20Denver%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BBob%20Denver%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-19222651455f60e4fa23816" href="/wiki/Bob_Denver" title="Bob Denver">Bob Denver</a>. </li><li data-rte-spaces-before="1">A robot washing onto the island was also the premise of an episode of the 1974 animated series <i>The New Adventures of Gilligan.</i> No mention of the XR-1000 robot was made in the cartoon; in fact, the castaways act as if they had never seen a mechanical man before, and the whole thing is treated as an allegory for racial prejudice. </li></ul> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Episode(s)</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Gilligan%27s%20Living%20Doll%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Gilligan%27s%20Living%20Doll%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BGilligan%27s%20Living%20Doll%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-19222651455f60e4fa23816" href="/wiki/Gilligan%27s_Living_Doll" title="Gilligan's Living Doll">Gilligan's Living Doll</a> </li></ul> <hr / data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> <p /> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key gilligan:rte-parser-cache:2240 --> Loading editor Characters Season 2 Characters One-Time Characters Military Characters Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
