It would be fun to build a modern version of this, with an Arduino or Rpi or something providing the "brains", and with some input sensors (ultrasonic distance sensor, camera, etc). But instead of just having the input buttons on top, you could also program it over the network (or USB) using a real programming language.

- Wistar 4y agoToday there are the Programming Journey Robots from Terrapin. My spouse uses the simplest, the Bee-Bot, in her kindergarten classroom. She wrote a grant to get about 15 of them. They use Terrapin's Logo and are much loved by her students. https://www.terrapinlogo.com/products/robots.html https://www.terrapinlogo.com/products/robots.html
