Hero-1 Robot (1983)

I like how they were trying to find practical use for this. I love things like this but it's an educational tool about robots at best.

It's amazing how primitive the technology was back then, in the field of consumer robotics as well as in TV presenter hairpieces.

Great video. It would be cool to own one of these, just for the nostalgia alone. To make something like that today would cost next to nothing, but back then it was a couple of grand easy.

@Mosfet510 I don't think that the cost of making one of these is, "next to nothing", today. The only thing that has dropped in price is the controller board. All the motor drivers, and motors are still quite pricey. And the cost of the chassis has not come down by much either.
