Androbot Topo 1983 Baseball T-Shirt

Topo was a series of robots designed in the early '80s by Sunnyvale, California's Androbot for the consumer and education markets. It was wirelessly programmable via computer with a modified version of BASIC called TopoBASIC (and later Forth, with TopoFORTH). The program allowed the robot to perform a set of geometric movements, to move about a room and perform tasks. Topo was like a servant robot, although it didn't truly meet the requirements of a robot, as it had no sensors to receive input and then make decisions accordingly. It also couldn't communicate any information back with the computer, nor calibrate its own motors to ensure an accurate task was being performed. The robots were sold commercially starting in May 1983.
