Playskool Wagon by Gene Oldfield (1982), Robot Repair, Sacramento, CA. This robot is adapted from a 6 wheel battery operated ride-on toy, the Playskool Adventurer (lower image), with a body made of fiberglass. “Gene Oldfield, mathematician, phycisist and teacher at a Sacramento area university is a happy home-robot tinkerer. His fascination with robotics goes back to the late 1950s. “It was intriguing to see mechanical rats like the ones in the Living Brain running around. That inspired me,” Oldfield said.” – Robot hobbyist: inspired since late 50s, InfoWorld, November 8, 1982.
