Robo Ball

I saw this a while back, all new to me. Like a robot armadillo, it looks intriguing. Somewhere a battery inserts. I guess the toy rolls and unrolls. Does anyone know? 

It's a Robogoron Gakken Robot Ball from Japan 1985.

Here's some You Tube footage, where it's called the caterpillar. I personally think it's more like a millipede.



I've seen that inner unit before I'm sure. They look like tin panels.

  1. Reminds me of the classic Saturday Night Live skit, "Super Happy Fun Ball": "Do not taunt Super Happy Fun Ball!" SFZ

    1. Sounds funny SF. I think that show has just hit the UK.

  2. It appears to be a sort of caterpillar/ball transformer toy of some kind.
