Joysticks

The Armatron is a toy from the 1980s made by TOMY and distributed by Radio Shack (Tandy in Belgium). It consisted of a crane-like arm with two attached joysticks which could be manipulated to pick up small objects. It is essentially similar to industrial robots of the 1980s, though it is strictly user-controlled, with no automation built in... So fun... and so 80's ;-)
