THE PROGRAMMABLE
ELECTRONIC TOY VEHICLE
Created in 1979, Bigtrak
became an enormously
popular and coveted toy
for youngsters of a wide
age range. Probably the
first of its type, and
incredibly advanced for
its time, this six
wheeled tank is back to
entertain and amuse a new
generation. Bigtrak can
remember up to 16
commands, programmed
into the control panel on
its back; press go and it
will perform them in
sequence. Movement is
governed by the simple
use of numbers, each
unit being a length of
forward or backward
movement. The turning,
also simply controlled by
the use of numbers, is
very precise - based on a
clock face, a turn of 60
is a 360 degree turn.
Pausing can be built into
its sequence and 'firing'
- flashing of the blue
light 'laser' accompanied
by futuristic shooting
sounds. With a little
planning and
experimentation Bigtrak
can be sent on complex
fantasy lunar excursions!
We anticipate that this
will hold retro appeal
for those who remember it
from the 80's, and teach
basic programming and
convey the excitement of
robotic space exploration
to a new generation.

Designed for indoor use,
this incredibly light
flying saucer will take
off at the push of a
button. Built using
ultralight micro
components and twin rotor
propulsion, it has the
minimum of drag and can
reach astounding heights.
It has bright diode
lights on the underside
in green, red and blue
which will be especially
effective for flying in
dimmed lighting.
Commencing countdown,
engines on...

Enthusiasm for this disc
shooting robot has gone
through the roof here at
Hawkin HQ! Operating the
robot from the remote
control is easy and
grasped in an instant,
so that it's simple to
make it move around and
do its stuff. It is also
programmable from the
chest panel 'Master, I
await your command' is
stated in a suitably
sober robotic voice -
give a list of commands,
press 'go' and it will do
them in sequence as you
have requested. Functions
include 'dance', 'turn',
'raise gun', and our
favourite, 'fire disc'.
With a stack of foam
discs loaded inside,
programme the robot to
take aim on unsuspecting
victims before powerfully
and rapidly firing discs
at your target -
brilliant! Whilst
performing the functions
it will announce phrases
such as 'you are under
arrest' and 'identify
yourself', and the voice
is spot on too,
commanding and officious.
We love it and we are
absolutely certain you
will too!

its eight furry,
independently moving
legs! Works indoors and
out within a range of up
to nine metres. As large
as the Goliath Bird
Eating Tarantula
measuring a life size
25cm in diameter.

Get ready for high-flying
action! Our fantastic
model helicopter is great
for complex sorties
throughout the house, or
simply for buzzing around
your sister's head. This
design features 4-channel
control for immediate
change of direction,
lift and speed. Landing
gear allows you to
stealthily taxi the
Supercopter into position
before switching to air
mode for an instant
lift-off. Cool features
using the latest model
technology such as the
contra-rotating rotor
blades and multi-channel
control system allow you
to perform precision
manoeuvres. The
combination of an
internal gyro and an
in-flight adjustable trim
stops the aircraft from
tipping forward, to keep
it perfectly balanced for
fast and responsive
flight. Powered prior to
flying from the handset,
reducing weight along
with a light metal frame
and strong but flexible
composite materials, for
maximum durability and
control. Thirty minutes
charging provides seven
minutes of flight, and
the helicopter comes with
a spare set of rotor
blades.

A larger than life size
(23cm) robotic hand with
moving fingers that
allows it to walk about,
as if it had a life of
its own - a bit like
'Thing' from the Addams
Family. Supple rubber
'skin' gives it a
lifelike quality as it
scurries spookily around.
After a few minutes of
activity it will come to
a halt, but a sound or
motion sensor will
trigger it back to life
when least expected,
surprising the unwitting.

A lightning fast game of
skill for two players.
Each player has nine
squares to control and in
the first instance four
are lit. By pressing a
lit square, the player
can cause the light to go
out and a square to be
lit on the opponent's
side. If a player is able
to turn off all their lit
squares, before their
opponent can respond,
they win the round. A
furiously fast game of
reaction, speed and
accuracy!

A totally awesome remote
control car! Officially
licensed by Subaru, this
1:20 scale sports car has
a range of cool features
such as front and rear
spoilers, engine vent
mouldings, and even a
light-up underbody. Two
sets of wheels are
provided - grip tyres for
precision racing, or
slick tyres for some very
swish drifting action -
that are easy to switch
with a screwdriver during
a pit stop. The
controller and vehicle
each have their own
battery packs so there's
no need to wait for it to
charge between plays,
and it is nippy enough
for the most demanding of
boy racers.

fast and agile. The large
tyres have deep treads to

to clamber over small
obstacles or leap off
ramps. The headlights
shine brightly when the
truck is in motion and
the wide bull bars will
deal with any road block.
