Check out this robot from 1983 for sale on Ebay. The manual states:RB owner’s may add on an optional 16K bytes to the standard 8K bytes. A robotic arm and a vacuum cleaner attachment may be installed for added capabilities.The wacky programmable robot comes with only 8K! Has anyone heard of this robot before? What can you program it for?
Also it has a vacuum cleaner attachment. Is this the original Roomba or the robot from Lost in Space without his arms? The auction has ended with a winning bid of $761! We just discovered a little more info about this robot. It looks like you can still buy one from General Robotics. It is programmed with Tiny BASIC. Also check out Edurobot. this site explains how the RBX5 is used in classrooms. |
