    I had these as a kid but never knew what they were until a few years ago.
    All I could recall was blue plastic track with gear teeth in the center and robots that moved along them. I can barely recall them besides that and don't remember which ones I had. Pretty sure it came as a set though. One of the track sections had a pointy end on it and I remember I could reach the ceiling with it and proceeded to poke holes in the acoustic tiling. I'm guessing that's why I don't recall having it long after that.

      I had found out about them in the early 80's back when I was in 4th grade. We had some sort of project and this one girl in my class had a ding a ling glued to construction paper. I thought the robot was awesome and she was nice enough to rip it off her project and let me keep it (from the website you gave I see I had Brain, though he did not have any stickers on him). I still have him here (somewhere) in the house

        We just discovered these a while back... I am REALLY thinking about pursuing them. Like them a lot.

        Anybody got any?
