Gwynn's sidekick was "Robbie The Robot" except he pronounced it "Robe-Bee." Anyway, Robbie was a non-ambulatory robot who talked and barfed out bags of Old Dutch potato chips and was probably just a pimped-out vending machine. They had to cut to commercial early one time because some kid got his hand stuck in Robbie's chute/mouth.
And I swear I'm not making this up.

I think you're referring to Wynn's Pad. If we're talking about the same show, I wouldn't say it was competition for Buckshot but that's not important. Anyway, I was on the show as a kid, on my birthday or something. Liked the free chips.
