The TXR-002 by Tomy ® was originally designed more than twenty years ago.
The TXR-002 was a four channel, R/C controlled robot that was sold in Japan and the UK. It has a JR digital proportional multifunction radio, inside micro servos, controler, dual leg motors, transmitter and a receiver. Both arms are fully controlable, right arm has gripper claw, left arm has flood light and a air powered BB gun arm that shoots plastic BB’s. It moves forwards, backwards, left and right and the upper body turns left, right, up and down.
TXR-002 by Tomy, Made in Japan as most things are!*
nice find. but unfortunatly after a translation this action has already ended. good to see they are still about so i may have a better chance of finding one.
some more info,
the Tomy TXR-002 was ahead of its time, but taught the company lots of valuable lessons that were eventually incorporated into the i-SOBOT design. The TXR-002 was a four channel, R/C controlled robot that was sold up until 1994 in Japan and the UK for aproxiamately USD$ 500. The robot is still well known in Japan and remembered quite fondly by its fans.
Its like ED209 and a battlemech had a child!
