Robot Hits Town

The Gisborne Jaycee Industries Fair Committee's giant mechanical robot hit town on a recent Friday night.

Walking Gladstone Road, the robot soon acquired a large crowd of followers, who swarmed around it during its journey.

The following night, it appeared at the American gridiron demonstration at the Childers Road Reserve, where it kicked off the second half of the game.
