![]() ![]() GoBots began winding down in 1986, with a hodge-podge of remaining Machine Robo toys and figures culled from other sources comprising the final additions to the toyline. Released at the tail end of 1983 with a $2.5 million ad campaign devised by agency Jordan, Case & McGrath, the GoBots toyline was a success and continued into 1984, with more Machine Robo toys being imported by Tonka to expand the series, along with a handful of newly-created larger figures and playsets. Rival toy company Tonka did the same, licensing the Machine Robo toys and developing new names and identities for them as the "GoBots" - a race of beings from the planet GoBotron who had "evolved" into machine lifeforms as they replaced their worn out organic bodies with mechanical parts. The series was exported to Europe (as Robo Machine), Australia (as Machine Men) and to America (as Machine Men) - but while the European and Australian releases met with success, the American series failed to take hold.ġ983 also saw the beginnings of Hasbro's partnership with Japanese toy company Takara to release their Diaclone and Micro Change toys in Hasbro markets as The Transformers. Also in 1983, Popy was reincorporated into its parent company, Bandai, who elected to take Machine Robo global. The success of the line saw it continued into 1983, expanding to include larger "Machine Robo DX" figures. Gobot also has it own CLI which you can learn more about here.The original Machine Robo toys were created by Japanese toy manufacturer Popy and released in 1982: a dozen small (two to three inches in height) robots who could transform through simple multi-step processes into vehicle modes, some based on modern Earth vehicles, others on more "alien" conveyances. Also included with Gobot is a CLI for generating new robots and adaptors. Gort provides tools to scan for connected devices, upload firmware, and it works perfectly with Gobot. Gobot is designed to be using in conjunction with Gort, a Command Line Toolkit (CLI) for RobotOps. You can check out more information on the Gobot API in the docs here CLI It also comes with the robeaux React.JS interface baked right into its API server for quick and easy configuration. ![]() It additionally has the ability to issue commands directly to your devices and robots. Gobot includes a RESTful API to query the status of any connection, device or robot running in your swarm. Support for devices that use Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) communication have a shared set of drivers provided using the "gobot/drivers/spi" package: Support for devices that use Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication have a shared set of drivers provided using the "gobot/drivers/i2c" package: The following robotics and physical computing platforms are currently supported: 35 Platforms Gobot has a extensible system for connecting to hardware devices. We've got many more examples to help you get started on your next IoT project! Platform Support Led := gpio.NewLedDriver(firmataAdaptor, " 13 ") " time " " gobot.io/x/gobot " " gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio " " gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/firmata "įirmataAdaptor := firmata.NewAdaptor( " /dev/ttyACM0 ") ![]() This program connects to an Arduino, and toggles an LED, every one second. Gobot makes controlling robots and devices incredibly simple and fun.Īll you need to get started is to install Gobot: $ go get -d -u gobot.io/x/gobot/. ![]()
