RB5X Robot

Description

A cylinder-shaped
robot
with an optional arm, and a transparent, dome-shaped top,
RB5X
has an RS-232 communications interface and is programmable in TinyBASIC or Savvy. It was first
released
in 1982. Its inputs include eight bumper panels, a photodiode and a sonic transducer
We offer a rare RB5X, The Intelligent RobotTM by RB Robot Corp. of Golden, CO. Serial No. 0010380 (#380).
“The RB5X was the first mass-produced, programmable robot designed especially for home experimentation. It may be programmed using any computer with an RS-232 communications interface. RB’s simple design allows users to thoroughly study its mechanical systems and electronics, and to adapt the robot to their own interests.
An intelligent robot, the RB5X learns progressively from its own experience. RB owner’s may add on an optional 16K bytes to the standard 8K bytes. A special circuit enables it to recognize that its batteries are low and to seek out its charger. It then automatically charges its batteries, detaches itself from the charger, and resumes its adventures. A robotic arm and a vacuum cleaner attachment may be installed for added capabilities”.
No batteries, in reasonable condition considering it's age. Your going have to google this to find out what it is of course. The serial number is Serial No. 0010380 (#380).  It's a bit dusty inside. You get what you see. The free wheel casters have deteriorated but they appear to be something you can get locally. I bought this at least 34 years ago and it's time for it to move on. I do not have the ROM chip or owners manual. You get what you see. The acrylic dome is in reasonable condition with some scuffing from moving over the years. Good luck and check out my other listings.
The Christmas lights are a bonus. I forgot about them :)
