    It was white plastic truck approx 30cm long 15cm high with 6 big 'monster truck' style wheels' and the gimmick of it was that it was programmable! It had a yellow numeric keypad on the top and one could enter commands such as 'go forward 10' 'turn right' 'go forward 5' etc. It also had a tipper on the back of it and the user could also tell the truck to carry a load in the tipper and then dump the load at a certain location.

    I think it was meant as a toy for the home but many schools apparently had one of them in order to teach mathematics, trig etc to kids. It would have been on the go around 1984 I suppose?

    Does it ring any bells for anyome?
