This four-foot high Tomy RC robot was popular in the early 80's and
featured several simple commands like "pour drink", beep, and follow
tape program.  I've had the smaller omnibot for some time, but as it's
mechanical linkages are fairly simplistic, its behavior space was
pretty small.  The larger would suit my research admirably, and truth
to tell, I'd like to have another go at building a robot domestic.
(The failures of my last such attempt now a matter of laughable public
record).

So someone out there must have a broken or disused 2000 collecting dust
in a forgotten corner.  If so, please email and we'll talk terms.

Is all.

PS: Don't forget to attend/enter the BEAM Robot Games, only 7 weeks
away!
