Bigtrak is back, enabling parents of today to buy one of the most memorable toys from their past and bring it back to life for their own children to enjoy – and of course for those who simply wish to have the toy they were never lucky enough to own as a child. It was the subject of a massive craze in the 1980s and the toy you simply had to have! A simply brand new retro experience!
Created in 1979, Bigtrak became an enormously popular and coveted toy, now this six wheeled tank is back to entertain and amuse a new generation. You might remember having one of these in the early 80’s. Retro and cool but updated for the 21st Century! If you are of a certain age, you either owned one or wanted one. It is also a great educational toy for children.
This programmable educational toy is a six-wheeled tank with a front mounted blue photon beam headlamp used for firing. The centre wheels are driven by two motors to allow change of direction. Use the 23-button keypad to enter instructions for Bigtrak. Where do I want Bigtrak to go? In what direction? How many units will it take to reach my goal? When do I want Bigtrak to fire? Do I want Bigtrak to return to me along a different course? With a 16 command memory, Bigtrak will execute 16 commands in one sequence, e.g. ‘go forward 5 lengths’, ‘pause’, ‘turn 30 degrees right’, ‘fire phaser’ and so on. There is a ‘repeat’ instruction allowing simple loops.
Bigtrak appeared in the movie, ET, alongside Drew Barrymore!
