Recently this came into my possession. I found one article through google on how to get some basic programing done, but for the most part I am on my own. I don't even know if it can interface with a PC or not. Anybody have any experience with this type of robot?

Ya, a couple minutes ago my database server crashed. I am waiting for the host to repair it. Dang. Should be back up shortly.

I know! It is like an 1980's robot. When I look at it all I can think about is revenge of the nerds.

Wow. I played with that robot back in the day. I've forgotten pretty much everything though. It was very state of the art at the time.

Just do a Google on Heathkit ETW-18. A lot of info comes up on it.

I was already into my second Apple II+ by the time this came out. :D
