Almost. A good friend of mine was cleaning out his house when he came across this. He thought of passing this off to me knowing robots are my hobby.

Thanks guys! I finally have it with me and ive started to assess whether it's worth restoring, or not. It's missing a bunch of accessories, but what surprised me tho is how well the rubber tracks have held up over so much time. It's a bit stiff, but no heat degradation or loss of tread pattern characteristics! For being kept in a garage with tropical weather almost year round, it's a testament of how well chogokins were made before, intentional or not:)

It took a shape, so take care
