Family computer robot is a peripheral equipment for Nintendo launched on July 26, 1985.

This is a picture of the front box of the Family Computer Robot. The whole image of the family computer robot is reflected.


Dedicated software "Block set". The player manipulates Dr. Hector on the screen, sends a signal to the robot, receives the signal from the screen, and the robot actually reorganizes the block in front of the robot. Although the player instructs the robot to load the block at the specified place which appeared on the game screen, since the software side does not distinguish whether the block was properly arranged, it is necessary for the player to confirm. Two people can compete.



Another dedicated software "gyro set". When setting the II controller of the Family Computer's robot on the tray of the Family Computer Robot, the movement that the robot pushes down the frame is linked with the A and B buttons, and the operation of the robot is reflected on the screen. When the robot pushes the button, the red / blue gate on the game screen goes up and down, allowing the player to proceed through the maze. The attached spinner is a mechanism that allows you to simultaneously press the A and B buttons on the robot if you set the frame here, and depending on the stage you need this simultaneous push operation.



I think that there are many people who did not know about families computer robots in fact, but in reality they have appeared in quite a lot of games, perhaps they may have already seen you already.
