No way.  Definitely not a robot. Holly

The dude was a robot. Just look at the guy. Well, he is a actor in the movie, but a robot in the story........bucket

Neither of the above. He's just an idiot.  People didn't not know (way back when) what kind of damage the costume paint did to your face.  It caused wrinkling of the skin, especially around the eyes 
and mouth.  The costume makeup used today is safer and more gentle for facial use.  Thea

I have to go with not robot......

comments.......I cant believe you would search the depths of something that actually makes me cry when I watch it those dam monkeys scare me but then again this isn't about the monkeys is it........as to the nice face smothered in paint.....give the guy a break....what he went through without Steven Spielberg to help is a credit to the men of yesteryear..  Gary

The Tin man always had a heart.  There for NOT a robot…Ian

Not a robot!  There is a big difference between a "tin man" and a robot. Hasmik

obviously NOT a robot his name is Tin MAN for goodness sakes.  I can't even believe this is a poll.  Krista

he is not a robot…Corrie

And who is that weird guy??? Robot? I think so! Bart

and tin man?  not a robot unless you drink coors...dave

This really comes down to a question of semantics, if the tin man were a robot than why wasn't he called robot man?  But, what exactly defines a robot from not a robot?  I think the question has to be restructured to appeal to a more definitive answer.  To answer robot or not robot is careless.  I would say he is not a lifeform from the lack of genitalia.  That I believe is the only answer I can give at this time.

definitely tin man, I  will be needing it for nuclear protection from Iraq.  Roxy

Robot.  He had a brain, like a microchip, right? He was missing a heart, feelings.  So technically, he is a robot.  Due to the fact that robots are run on microchips and they aren't living and you can live with out a heart.  Plus he always needed oil. Carrie

I’m sticking with robot.  His name is Tin MAN…so what.  It’s a name.  He’s made of metal.  Without oil he rusts.  He chops trees, doing the work of humans.  He has rivets in his face.  So he’s always had a heart, just like Rosie the housekeeper from the Jetsons had a sharp temper…it’s all part of the programming.  Don’t fall for it.  He’s a robot. Josh

Verdict?  NOT ROBOT
