Look at all the things Robert can do! He can deliver a magazine. Talk on the telephone. Work a great big bulldozer. And look right through you with his X-ray eyes!
I got a Robert around 1961-1962. He didn't drive a bulldozer like video, he was the bulldozer! I remember I would always put him back in his original box until it wore out. It didn't take long for the speedometer cable's outer case to break off the remote, but somehow I got it to work. I think I had batteries in it to make him light up around 3-5 times, usually with the ones that were too dim for Dad's flashlight but had some juice left.
I got mine back in the 50's! I believe I kept the voice box that you wound up to make him talk. "I am Robert Robot, Mechanical man... Drive me and steer me wherever you can" Those were the days....

Theodore: Help! Crazy robot!
My grandpa put one in my room and it just sits up on the shelf, looking at me
"I'm Robert the Robot,the mechanical man.Drive me and steer me wherever you can.
Yep. Had one of these.
I would still have my Robert the Robot if my stupid cousin hadn't put a kink in the remote control wire. At age 70, I have yet to forgive him.
Awesome! I love robots AND I worked with Lionel Weintraub's talented son Richie for many years.
wow
Original android
Notice how they pronounce robot in the commercial. They don't emphasize bot in robot It sounds like he's saying robut.

@@MoffsAreTheCutest: the “Robutt”came years later and was marketed to a very different audience.🤖
