 I recently traded some equipment for a Robot Star that was made sometime in
 the 30's. It takes 55 images per  36 exposure 35mm roll, so is evidently a
 bit larger format than half frame. Is this the standard format today for
 Robot cameras?

  Gary - The Robot that you have is probably a 1940 Luftwaffen model
  with a right angle finder used to look into with the lens pointed down.
  Depending on condition & military markings, it would sell today for
  about $450 to $550. 
  Some Robots were made in 16x24,18x24,16x16,24x24 & full frame
  24x36 but most took 50 exposures @ 24x24mm.  The latest ones
  that I am aware of take 24x24mm.
   The life-time warranty applies to defective materials & workmanship.
   You are expecting too much from a camera that literally has been
    "through the war".
