The other robot [geocities.com] from "Lost in Space" (TV) should also go into the museum.
Androids should probably get their own museum as they are a bit different from plain robots. My favorite to go into an Android museum would be BladeRunner's Roy.
There have been so many robots used (both good and badly designed) in movies - it is probably really hard to decide just whom should go into the hall of fame.
Vega from StarTrek-the Movie would be another good one. Only, they would have to build an entire planet to accommodate it.
