What a coincidence! I brought my boyfriend, Scott from Horizons!
Scott has a public service announcement about this EPCOT Center party he'd like to share with you all...
"Stay in your group. Keep your buddy in sight. Always check your gill apparatus for full re-circulation EVERY TEN MINUTES!"

Wow...I'm surprised WDI let him go.Wonder where he is now...He woulda been a great addition to the 25th Gal.
My understanding is that he had an accident while working at the Contemporary and required significant repairs for which there was no budget for. WDI then gave him to Florida Robotics in return for services and then Florida Robotics was the group that auctioned him.
I completely agree that he would have been agreat additional to the gallery. I was very happy and surprised to see the Horizons robot butler there and having SMRT-1 there as well would have made it that much better.

Thanks
haha thanks.. I knew I wasn't the only one. I had totally forgotten about him until I saw a youtube video called Epcot Center in less than 5 minutes and they showed a 2 second pitcure of him and it blew my mind.. I used to love this little guy so much.. I had wind up toys and puzzles with him on it. I cant believe I forgot about him. Im going to the parks in 8 days.. Im gunna try and get to the contemporary and find the butler from Horizons.. Didnt know he was there.

Sounds like R2 on the Sail Barge in Return of the Jedi
I was just looking at this page http://www.lostepcot.com/communicore.html - There used to be so much at Communicore. Too bad SMRT-1 was sold off like so many droids with bad motivators.

I miss EVERYTHING from the old Communicore! It says alot that even though I saw the old Communicore only twice when I was younger, it is the first image that pops in my mind when thinking of Epcot (Center) instead of the current Innoventions area! And SMRT-1 was definitely one of those elements that made a lasting impression in my head!!!!!!!

"Hiya! I`m Smart one and I`d like to play a game with you....."
Computa-Coaster was right next to SMRT-1; so many choices
Awwww...I remember a *bit* of old Communicore. 1993 wasn't the best time for it though, right?:shrug:
Old Dining Reservation System
I also really miss the old dining reservation system, where you used to talk to the people through the T.V.'s. As a little one I would always look forward to getting into EPCOT, riding spaceship earth, and making reservations as we exit the ride lol.. How often can you say that making a dining reservation was a memorable and fun experience? I am always a bit saddened when I see the old area that housed the TV's next to the ATM machine..
And for the love of crumb cake lets do something with Wonders of Life Already.. By the look of things nowadays, a few of us can stand a little refresher course in health and well living hehe. :lol:

Yeppers. The 'walk-through' concept that they have now is just waaay too walk through. I even find myself just strolling along and not really enticed to stop at the exhibits. :dazzle:
Exactly.. Aside from all the video games they used to have when it first opened when I was a young teen, I rarely ever stopped to do anything in there. 2 trips ago my girlfriend and I played a couple things in one of them just to pass time before our soarin fastpass came up, but like you said its more just a walk-through these days.
1993.... you were just at the end of the best time. Expo Robotics closed on October 3rd that year - the beginning of the end for CCore.
