…but I can’t remember the name of it to save my life. I want to look for one on eBay…perhaps the SD Brain trust can help.
(BTW- this was between 1980 and 1985 I am guessing…)
It looked like a little tank about the size of a shoe box. It had a number pad on the back. You could program it to go forward 8 feet, turn left, go forward 2 feet, turn right etc so in essence you were trying to tell it were to go. I also think it may have had a dump truck-like attachment for pulling stuff.
“This was a six-wheel-drive toy that could be programmed on a keypad to goforward and backward, turn, pause, and fire a lightbulb “laser”. Sold separately was a transport trailer that hitched on the back and could be made to dump its contents on command.”
My friend Greg had one of these, and I was green with envy.
Since this seems resolved, maybe I could hijack with a “When I was a girl, I didn’t” … have a computerised bike.
Mid 80s, huge marketing campaign for the kids answer to KITT. I believe it was made by Raleigh, and appeared to have a cream plastic shell over the actual bike frame. On the crossbar was some sort of computer-ish thing. The name was something like Titanium, but not that (although there does appear to be a Raleigh Titanium).
Can anyone remember what this is, or should I start a new thread? I gather it was fairly crap in reality, but a little part of me still wants one.
