Robot Name: Running Man (Sold)

Robot Number: 0021
Date: 2012
Description: Running Man, a long-legged, lean, mean running machine, was never interested in his own fame and always used his God-given talent to help other runners bask in the world’s spotlight.  In doing so he was the pacesetter and driving force for such great American runners as Frank Shorter, Jim Ryan, Steve Prefontaine and of course the unforgettable SDSU favorite David “Speed Demon” Andersen, who once ran so fast he set his hair on fire. No kidding — it was scary fast.  Running Man is made of recycled, found and vintage objects. Parts include: a thermos bottle, vintage coffee pot, vintage shoe horns, lamp parts, candle bases, power drill gears, ice cream scoops, BBQ parts and canister cover and other items.
