\u2014Jon Keegan<\/em><\/p>\n

As a child of an electronic engineer, I spent a lot of time in our local Radio Shack as a kid. While my dad was locating capacitors and resistors, I was in the toy section. It was there, in 1984, that I discovered the best toy of my childhood: the Armatron robotic arm.<\/p>\n

Described as a \u201crobot-like arm to aid young masterminds in scientific and laboratory experiments,\u201d it was a legit robotic arm. And the bold look and function of Armatron made quite an impression on many young kids who would one day have a career in robotics. Read the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n
