The Big Trak - a 1979's toy

The Big Trak
Gear | Toy
Today I have seen this weird toy car from ffffound. I searched some info about this car, the pic is the Big Trak, which is a programmable electric vehicle created by Milton Bradley in 1979. The toy could remember up to 16 commands which it then executed in sequence (such as "go forward 5 lengths", "pause", "turn 30 degrees right", "fire phaser" and so on. There was a "repeat" instruction allowing simple loops, but the language was not Turing complete. I can't believe it is a toy made in 1979, and can be programed, really cool! A Big Trak lover created a bigtrak site - thebigtrak. You even can buy a Big Trak via send him an email or search it from ebay. Check out more see the video of it.
