I can remember the original HERO having more power then the machine I would have used to program it :-).
They were really expensive for the time though - $2k, IIRC ?
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoWe had an original Hero 1. I remember drooling when the Hero 2000 came out, our robot was already outdated in 1983 or so. I remember typing in programs on the keypad on its head to impress my friends, but it wasn’t very practical.
- neilv 5y agoAs a young kid, you could drool over the Hero-1 and then Hero 2000 in the Heathkit catalog, but the prices put them well beyond conceivably obtainable. :) Nowaways, it seems more like buying a DeLorean. Yes, one could swing the eBay price now, but it's not so practical, and you'd be buying it as a vintage restoration project, and hopefully the coolness of eventually driving it around town. Except that last part, but one could get a blog post out of it.
