Johny 5 MINI: Input… I need input!
Introducing a legend among robots — in pocket size. JOHNY 5 MINI is not just a pile of plastic and pins — it is a model inspired by the most famous robotic rebel ever to escape a laboratory. This little guy may not be able to read encyclopaedias in a second, but he will definitely liven up your desk.
Warning!
Do not short-circuit! This model has a tendency to develop its own personality.

JOHNY 5 MINI in all his glory! Assembled, programmed (within the limits of plastic) and ready to collect more data. "No disassembly!"
Colour recommendation (Mode: Camouflage)
To make Johny look like he just rolled under the fence of a secret military complex, we recommend this colour scheme:
- Tracks: Black (parts bb-triangle-4x5x6).
- Body: Silver or gold (for that proper "high-tech" metallic look).
- Personality in the details:
- One orange pin-2.
- All other pins black.
- Two white pin-3s (optional, to highlight structural features).
Building instructions
Building Johny is a joy, not a chore! Follow the included PDF guide which takes you step by step from the tracks all the way to his iconic sensor-packed head.
Builder's tip
Be careful when assembling the head — it is the most sensitive part of his digital soul.
- Assemble the chassis: The triangular tracks are the foundation, giving him stability during escape.
- Erect the body: The main load-bearing structure where the (imaginary) processor resides.
- Add the arms and sensors: So Johny can gesticulate and collect data from his surroundings.
