 The RoboCop suit was designed by Rob Bottin (qv) and his team. It  took a while for the production team to settle on a design, so that  by the time the suit was completed it was three weeks late and  arrived at the studio on the day that the first RoboCop scene was  scheduled to be shot. It took 11 hours for Bottins people to fit  Peter Weller (I) (qv) into the suit, and when it was done Weller  found that all his mime exercises were now useless because he needed  time to get used to the suit and to perform as a robot in it.  Production was halted so that Weller and his mime coach,  Moni Yakim (qv), could learn how to move in the suit.
