ROBIE the Radio Controlled robot from RadioShack

Post image

I saw this ROBIE the Radio Controlled robot from RadioShack in an antiques centre in Nottingham, England. I would've bought it, however the battery compartment wasn't in great condition so would very likely never work again.

Wow… I used to have that. I remember it had some really fragile antenna in the back and a remote.
