Comment Anyone remember Electra(sp)? (Score 1) 161
Back in the 60's I remember seeing a demo of a humanoid robot named Electra at the NY state fair. It may have been maid by IBM, but I can't seem to dig anything up on it. As a kid I was amazed and thought it mega cool when they detached her head to prove that it wasn't human, though people in the crowd were still dubious.
In the "bringing robots to the masses" department, I think that Tomy should get a nomination for the Armatron.
Of course, don't forget the Rockem-Sockem guys. I yearn for the days when I could knock my brother's block off so easily!
