DeVon Smith made a living trading and selling junk. He lovingly created his own 100% recycled World's First Family of Robots, which he would display at department store openings and the Children's Museum in Pittsburgh. Smith used oscillating fans for movement, and parts from old hair dryers, TV antennas, and other household electronics to construct his robots. He finished them off with paint, bicycle reflectors and car headlights to create each personality in the family.
