   I had ol’ Robert the Robot – you turned a little crank and he’d say “I’m Robert the Robot, Mechanical Man, guide me and steer me wherever you can”… and you could guide and steer him. Seems like he used a battery for something too – possibly a little light?

   Brings back memories as I had this robot. It had a red knob in the front that turned. I can’t remembr what it did. Maybe it turned on the lights in the eyes? I also can’t remember
   twirling a knob to move the robot. Maybe I am mixed up with another robot I had in which you pushed a button or two which ran a battery powered motor. I also remember a triangular shaped twirling chrome rod. Again, maybe a different robot.

   I think I do, but I can’t access them now – my daughter broke her leg so I am backed up on everything. I know there are a couple versions of this particular toy’s video. I’ll post something when I can.
