πŸ“· I asked my parents to send me some photos of my first robot, Arthur. This photo is a few decades old, taken with an Asahi Pentax.

@jemostrom it’s a great camera :-) And because my father takes really good care of it, it still works as new!

@otaviocc Wow! I had the same one. When I got older, I disassembled it and was impressed on how basic it actually was πŸ˜†. The whole body is empty, with only a couple of wires to light the eyes. As for the electric motor and wheels in the feet, they were only capable of super-simple motion. Do you remember how it would only move straight when going forward? The only other option was the "reverse gear". By pressing a trigger on the remote, it would move back as a semi-arch. Remember? Nevertheless, before knowing all that, it felt so magical when I was a kid β™₯️
