The Old Robot Website has a fantastic collection of old robots, some quite advanced for their time like the six-legged Odex I shown here. 

Heathkit Hero I Robot

I still have a soft spot for the Heathkit Hero I robot which I built as a teenager and ensured that I was never invited to any of the really good parties…   Those parties – bad 80s hair and all – are long fogotten but I can still work a soldering iron like no one else!
