Jinroh Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Seeing what's out there since this is AtariAge. Considering an Androbot Topo/B.O.B. One of the robots who got me into Automation, I've wanted one since I was a kid. Project would be ok if reasonably priced, clean and complete would be preferred. Working, would be killer.

CPUWIZ Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Check if Curt still has his, he posted it for sale last year, but no idea if he sold it. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/249690-fs-androbot-topo-robot/?p=3453416 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good_Times Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 This guy's got one, supposedly an "early production model" that he purchased in Cali. http://www.ebay.com/itm/HUGE-VINTAGE-ROBOT-Topo-ANDROBOT-BODY-Part-Computer-Project-Nolan-Bushnell-Atari-/322786276811?hash=item4b278fb5cb:g:LtsAAOSwKz9Zpush Topol, early and current production models: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the leads guys. I'll email Curt. That ABS production Shell looks interesting would be easy enough to make a base and some functionality with modern parts for it. I'll investigate.

Jinroh Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Oh idk his eBay name is Biff Tannen but not sure ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Looks like someone snagged it ^_^ Yup. Getting a partial refund on shipping too. He has 4 or 5 more. Makes for a nice conversation piece. Maybe I'll mod a bunch of sensors / screens etc. into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Congrats, you must have snagged it right before me. As I clicked the eBay link. I too was going to restore it. Looks good in your display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Congrats, you must have snagged it right before me. As I clicked the eBay link. I too was going to restore it. Looks good in your display. Nope, I sent a Best Offer with a question about shipping and it all worked out well. It's only sitting there temporarily, the blue light behind it is actually a custom made Atari neon sign my wife had made for me ages ago.

Good_Times Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 So glad to see Topo being appreciated. I'd actually been sitting on that ebay link for a few days/week. I sincerely hope they all find appreciative homes. Just be careful tinkering around with these Bushnell robots, at first it's: But if you're not careful.....

PFIKER65 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have a TOPO that I am considering selling. I have replaced the batteries, put new balance rollers and repaired an LED board. It is operational. I haven't advertised this anywhere yet so if interested let me know, worst I can say is No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
