Zeaker by David Buckley for Colne Robotics - A computer controlled micro robot vehicle attached by an umbilical to its control station and host computer and sold by Colne Robotics. Zeaker was the first British computer controlled micro robot vehicle to have comprehensive segmented bump sensors. Zeaker was designed to be controlled from a Sinclair ZX-81. The Control Station contained the interface electronics and four C-cell NiCads for power, which could be charged overnight using the ZX-81 power supply. It was connected to the I/O card by two ribbon cables and to Zeaker by a ribbon cable umbilical. Zeaker itself had two drive motors, four bump sensors plates activating six switches , two at the front, one on each side and two at the rear, two LEDs at the front by 'Zeaker', a speaker and central pen, all of which were under computer control. Just in front of the Umbilical connector can be seen the LED indicating Pen-up and Pen-down. . . . . .
